LOVEFiLM Issues...
« on: 16 November 2012, 02:54:49 »

I'm on the top package of 4 discs at a time unlimited including games that's just under £20 a month which wouldn't and hasn't bothered me till recently...

I don't know if anyone else has noticed that allot of the new films now days aren't available on LOVEFiLM for ages if at all even, Which wouldn't be so bad if you could at least reserve them for whenever they do become available...

I don't know what LOVEFiLM are playing at but with it being like this with almost every new title that I am interested in, I would at least like the opportunity to reserve, But can't due to the reserve option has gone which is a pain in the a$$... If this carries on much longer i'll soon be one of many ex-member's ...

Anyone else having similar issues with CRAPFiLM ?

You my friend, like many others including myself  :'( have fallen into the trap set by LoveFilm selling out to the giant Amazon. I too have noticed that the old and very useful reserve function is now rarely seen! As soon as I realised that it was affecting my premium package I complained to them and received no reply that meant anything and then (over the phone where they tried their danmdest to stop me) immediately changed it to a single disk each month and signed up to the BRILLIANT NetFlix bwith which I have had no problems at all. Many others are now joining companies of that ilk such as Virgin and I think BT. For what it costs (far less than the cinema) if you need to watch a recent film, and in my opinion there are not that many new releases worth watching, do as I do and simply just pay for a view on demand service.
As for LoveFilm, if it gets any worse it will lose my lessened custom too cos I will vote with my feet and pocket their profits  :y

Films such as these are unavailable to rent or even reserve... True most of these films are probably crap but still would still like to have the choice... :-\

Rock of Ages
Snow Whight and the Huntsman
Prometheus
Wrath of the Titans

I bought Prometheus and Wrath of the Titans plus a few of the other newer ones from my local Tesco for a fiver each while they were on promotion. Not a bad price to pay cos I can sell them on the old fleabay or give them as a tightass Xmas gift when I have seen them and added them to my digital  media library....
I have done the deed now and dropped the LoveFilm/Amazon hybrid altogether. Who knows, perhaps when enough members quit the service and give their reasons they might just relent and revert to the old and better practice.......No doubt it was some pratt with a diploma and no common sense that made the new rules  :D ;D ;D

it's a shame there isn't a NowTV PS3 / Smart TV app watching on a PC is inconvenient for me  :-\ ... Did ask them and apparently they are working on a PS3 app.

I know, I applied to be project manager on that release!

It's not too far away. Xbox already supported :)
