I wonder if were any closer now to seeing Universal disc rentals from Lovefilm?

What's up with the way lovefilm list their tv shows.

You ha e to scroll through pages of shows

S1 ep 2
S1 ep3

Why cant they have sub categories

Season 1 click link episodes 1-20 etc..

It's a right pain

I hated that when I was with them - it gives a false impression that they have more content than they actually have.

Good deal though, might have to see if there are any offers floating around online for another run with them.

I am very pleasantly surprised about this. Considering Universal titles hadn't been available to rent on DVD and Blu ray since 2009 I really wasn't expecting a deal to be done on online streaming. Some films have started to appear to be available on disc now as well. Bridesmaids is now available to rent but it's funny that the reviews where people are complaining about it not be available to rent are still there.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Yup I think it was part of the deal, checked a few movies on universal that I wanted to watch I can now rent them

With new releases there's a two month wait (after they're come out to buy) I think before you can rent them

They're doing a "Buy one, get two months free" offer at the moment which I might consider. Although it might be worth waiting until the Olympics starts to see if it's still on as I suspect i'll be watching a lot more films during that time frame !

Just noticed Lovefilm is finally offering Universal blu rays to rent again, great news and about time!

As another poster mentioned, the only issue now is 20th Century Fox's refusal to allow rental fo theri Blu Rays
