WHSmith Movies Direct is the new online DVD Rental service from one of the UK's most recognised high street names. Like many suppliers of DVD and game rental services, WHSmith have struck up a deal with market leaders LoveFilm, which gives them access to over 60,000 DVD titles from the LoveFilm warehouses, plus hundreds of titles in both the HD formats, as well as hundreds of video game titles for the all the recent flagship consoles (Wii, Xbox 360, PS3), the last-gen machines (GameCube, Xbox, PS2) and both the main handheld formats (DS and PSP). This also means that WHSmith customers benefit from the same turnaround rate and service as LoveFilm subscribers do.


In order to satisfy both film buffs and l33t g4merz, WHSmith offer two different types of package - one which just allows for DVD movie rentals, and one which allows for customers to rent and enjoy a mixture of both games and films. All the WHSmith packages are of the Unlimited variety, offering you any amount of rentals from 1 disc up to 3 discs at any time. The 2 disc and 3 disc Unlimited Inc. Games packages have proven to be popular combination choices with households who want to be able to rent and keep hold of a game title for a couple of month's worth of playing, whilst still keeping slots free for recycling movie rentals.


The prices for all the packages are low, ideal for both light and frequent users alike, and the combination games and movies packages definitely represent good value for money, considering that similarly priced multi-disc unlimited plans from rival providers do not come with the option to include games into the mix.


WHSmith Movies Direct can also boast the longest free trial period offer going; a full month, or 30 days as opposed to the 14 or 28 days that the majority of providers seem to roll with. Best of all, the 30 day trial period is available on all of WHSmith's packages.


The WHSmith DVD rental site has a spacious, uncluttered design, allowing you to read a general overview and customer reviews, and add your own comments and ratings when you sign up. The internal search comes with a number of different search filter options, such as title, actors, directors, and year of release. The option to filter searches according to a film's BBFC certificate is also available; this could be a useful tool for parents who want to be able to choose something suitable for children to watch.


There are also a number of genre categories and collections (such as 100 Wild Westerns, 100 Feisty Females, 100 Hot Hits), as well as the expected New Releases and Coming Soon lists. Clicking on an individual genre tab also unveils a number of sub-genre options allowing you to refine your searches even further. The 'Sci Fi/Fantasy' link for example, brings up a number of other options including 'Doctor Who', 'Sci-fi - General' and 'Anime/Japanimation'.


With the longest free trial going, and the option to include video game rentals into an Unlimited subscription for a marginal fee increase, WHSmith are on to a winner with their DVD Rental service.
