There is danger in the jungle or beware Amazonians bearing gifts!

Be careful of what seems like a good offer…

…unlimited DVD’s for £9.99 ($20) was the offer that Amazon.co.uk made and I gladly accepted.

Just pick, have them delivered and return, seemed simple enough and for a couple of years I was doing just that.

Amazon have decided to get out of the market and transferred their business to another company, so I thought I would look over my stats.

It was then I found out that I had paid them £130 (£260) and I then went and added all the DVD’s I had rented into my amazon shopping cart…guess the figure?

It would have cost me, today, £105 ($210) to buy the DVD’s and watch them as many times as I liked, forever for £25 ($50) less.

So, be careful of these offers and if you must use an online DVD rental facility make sure your either watching a hell of a lot of DVD’s or maybe a decent amount of Blu-Ray discs, otherwise just buy the things.

Lesson learned!
