V2 is the online subsidiary of Video 2000 and therefore has both a substantial (in fact currently the largest at 23,000) catalogue and plenty of experience in the DVD rental market.
In addition to a wide range of movies, V2direct also provides game rental for Xbox and Playstation 1 & 2. It also offers a wide range of Red Light, Adult R and Adult X rated films but with a family-friendly, parental control feature to prevent this content from being visible if you wish. If you want adult films and/or game rentals as well as the usual range of movies then this is a good option.
V2direct are based in Brisbane and state that "customers in Queensland typically receive new DVDs with 48 hrs", while "customers in regional areas outside QLD should receive theirs within 3 days" (of posting). In fact we have heard about plenty of happy customers, but many of them do happen to be resident in Queensland. Those further afield haven't been so impressed with the turnaround time.
Prices: V2direct have 8 price plans ranging from $18.95 for 1 DVD at-a-time to 8 DVDs at a time for $78.95. All their plans allow an unlimited number of DVDs per month, so if you're watching them and returning them swiftly its a great deal. Moreover, at the moment V2direct offer the cheapest unlimited rental options, earning them a 41/2 star rating for Value from us.
