With the recent announcement that lovefilm have stopped offering game rentals, a lot of people said they were cancelling and joining boomerang instead.

They do a point system too now so say for instance they're late sending you a game , you buy the game etc they will award you with points. When you get enough points you'll get a month free.
thanks for the info. that points system sounds pretty good, im gonna take a good look into it. i'm pretty sure ill be signing up
high praise indeed!! thank you. they're definitely sounding like the way forward for me!
Will be using them for next gen.
They sent you actual games? Joined Blockbuster but when Lovefilm stopped renting games and everyone flooded to Blockbuster the service went downhill for me. They never even sent me any game discs out anymore just the odd movies 7 or 8 placed on my list.
But I'm glad others seem to be getting a service from them.
yep,i set it up so that i have distinct streams (PS3.XB360,Blu Ray)and instead of sending the games back by post i take them to the local store and do a store swap(anything in store except Top 10 Blu Ray's)i get to keep Games for 5 nights and Films for 3 nights
That's a good way of doing it. I would've done it that way but my store is the otherside of town.
its the other side of town here,but it means im never without something to play
Yeah, bus routes a pain in the ass here though. So will stick with Boomerang.
When did you sign up, and how long did you have the first game?
The free trial is limited to 1 game a week, so if you speed-ran the first game and sent it back swiftly, then it is correct the second game took some time to arrive.
Is there any decent game rental services out there now that lovefilm has shot itself in the head?
Just give it time, both of those will have had a massive influx in customers, you have to be a bit realistic - especially with Boomerang as they're a smaller company.
Should improve over time as they get paying members and most capital for stock.
Im finding them really good at the moment,using the store swap more or less means i always have at least one game i really want to play(had Saints Row 4 and Diablo 3 in the last few weeks)
First time I've tried to get a new release from them, quite impressed - used to take ages to get new releases from LOVEFiLM.
Very good service and looks like easily the best in the UK market now, though they seem to be making a couple of changes to the lower end of the packages, so you maybe need to look at higher packages to stand more chance of getting the newer and more popular releases. Before you could get them on the lowest package (which I'm still on) but it seems slightly harder now, guessing they've had more customers come in and changed it up.
