Ahaaaa, I just had to answer this post

I've got quite a few also in my 1st choice list. Firstly, forget about list 1,2 & 3 as 85% of the time I get the blooming foreign movies the misses has highlighted (which I moved to choice 3 lol).

The only HD DVD I have received from them was the "fish in a fish tank" filmed with an HD camera sitting infront of the tank

Just sent one back so maybe....just maybe I'll get one soon Hope you do too soon.

Re: HD rental at Tesco

Been with them about 2 weeks and had 2 HD-DVD's and 1 SD. Discs turned up quickly as stated, no problems whatsover.

I was concerned about the amount of HD DVD's available and the fact no new ones seemed to be added to the list, so I E-mailed them. There reply was they intended to stock more very shortly!

Whether they do or not is another matter

Re: HD rental at Tesco

I had 3 HD movies in my first week or two as a member. Since then nothing. To be honest I only seem to get the less popular films on my list (eg Hard Candy) even though they are 2 & 3's.
I'd go back to Amazon like a shot if they start doing HD's for rental, but as of yesterday they are still purchase only.

I'm betting they only have 1 or 2 copies of each hi-def film.

Probably because I did not enter that as one of my selections I've recently watched it on SD-DVD. I've selected about 15 of the available titles. I wonder how many copies of each title they have? A lot I hope or we'll be waiting awhile

Re: HD rental at Tesco

Ok, since complaining about not receiving any HD's I returned from holiday to find 3 sitting on the doormat. Hopefully the supply is increasing - I noticed they've added a couple of new films - looking forward to the Deer Hunter.

Re: HD rental at Tesco

Yea

Just checked my allocation and I've got Batman Begins and Firewall all on HD-DVD on their way . And I've just received my Canere LV-61 analogue cables, to hook up my amp for TrueHD sound!

Its all good all for free!(not the cables cost me £40)

Yep, they do seem to have some for rent, if you want to go over to the "dark side"
