nellie2 Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Supermarket chain Tesco is to rent DVDs via a website. The business will run along similar lines to Netflix - the US company which has picked up over 2m customers. The Tesco project is in partnership with Video Island. Customers will have a choice of 15,000 titles. For a fixed monthly fee they can choose two, three or five DVDs. When they send back a DVD, Tesco will dispatch the next film from the wish list. Discs are returned in Freepost envelopes. Tesco refused to give prices for the service which launches at the end of the month. Laura Weade-Gery, CEO at Tesco, said in a statement: "DVDs by post has revolutionised the way people watch film in the States and we're confident by moving into the market we can do the same in the UK."source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
