If you're an indie film lover, a fan of the classics or someone who needs to sit down with a good foreign flick every now and then, GreenCine is the service for you. They're not as big as the mainstream DVD rental services, but they have a great selection of niche titles to choose from. They have over 50,000 titles in stock, so while they're not as big as the top two contenders, they do beat out a lot of the smaller competitors.

The main drawback to GreenCine is the fact that the company doesn't offer a free trial and there is no phone support available. Some customers have also complained about long wait times for certain titles to become available. That's a bit concerning since their pricing doesn't exactly undercut the big names in online DVD rental. All in all, however, we have to say that GreenCine does very well in serving a niche of the online DVD rental market. If you want to go with the little guy, this is the one you want to back. With that said, GreenCine is awarded 4.5 Stars!

If you're looking for the best DVD rental service on the Web, GameZnFlix probably won't be your first choice. GameZnFlix seems to be geared more towards gamers rather than the movie buff. This would probably explain the whole "limited movie selection" issue. Companies like Blockbuster and Netflix have tens of thousands of titles. GameZnFlix has about 20,000, but that number does not include their game rental titles. If you are looking for a combo deal of movies and games, then this may be the DVD rental service for you.

• Movies Available on DVD, HD-DVD and Blu-Ray
• Pre-Pay For 3 Months and Get A $25 Shell Gift Card (at the time of our review)

If higher pricing and limited selection weren't bad enough, phone support wasn't as prompt as we would have liked either. Fortunately, email support was hassle-free. All in all, we'd have to say that while GameZnFlix does have potential, you're better off dealing with a more established online DVD rental service if movies are only what you want. GameZnFlix deserves an Overall Rating of 4.0 Stars.

We'd really have liked it if DVD Avenue would have been the underdog that we could stand behind. Unfortunately, our experience with the company was a bit of a disappointment. First, there's no free trial. Every other DVD rental service on the block offers a free trial. One might assume the lack of a free trial is due to a lack of quality service.

• Spanning over 25,000 Titles
• No Due Dates or Late Fees
• Free Delivery and Return Shippin

Our email request to DVD Avenue's customer service department went unanswered and we were unable to locate a phone number. Considering the pricing isn’t as competitive as we would like to see, we'd have to say stick with one of the bigger online DVD rental services. With the pricing as it is and the selection paling in comparison with the bigger players we give DVD Avenue an Overall Rating of 3.5.
