alternatives to DVD unlimited?
they merged with fatso right?
hmm ..well looks like their games section is under review, according to the email i just got from them .. so no new titles untill this is completed, no ETA. i remember there being a game focused site that worked the same way as dvdunlimited .... can't remember the name of it though .. |

fatso, movieshack, and dvd unlimited merged.. they were the three big (only?) players in nz. the merger was because they had not enough business for each. makes sense to stay with them because now you could benefit from all three imo. fatso's game section appears to be working.

yeh they merged ..but does that mean our login's work on the other sites now? .. or should the titles of all three apear on each?
because there hasn't been any new ps3 games for a while .. i emailed them and they said they are reveiwing weather they should continue buying new game sw ... if they didn't that would suck and i'd prob cancel my membership as it's the main reason i joined.. |

from what i see on fatso ..it's only last gen titles .. ps2 and xbox .. lame

well i've just signed up at gamekingdom ..their selection looks awesome ... question is how long i'll have to wait .. can't be worse than DVDUL anyways .. to get a game i had to remove everything off my queue and wait a couple weeks :/
the thing that gets me though ...dvdunlimited ... and fatso ..have differnt plan prices. fatso's 2disc-at-a time plan is $15.95 .. the same plan on DVDUL ..is $17 .. and my login for DVDUL .. wont let me in on fatso .. so err? looks like a bit of a mess really. |

You said stuff that was already mentioned previously. Not useful.

Looks like they're just rebranding the Movieshack codebase.

I'll add that I used GameHog for about a year last year, had no issues with them, when ever I did, I emailed them and they sorted it. Whenever there was a game I wanted, emailed and they got it in stock.
So would recommend.. Would still be with them, but I'm no longer based in NZ ! |
26th November 2008, 11:07 | #23 |

Should add, that I did find their website pretty pants, although it looks like they have updated it since I quit

lambchop, send me a referral to Game Kingdom - someone might as well get a discount if I'm going to give it a go.
PS the email address in your profile doesn't work. |

even their envelopes are from movieshack now, blegh

Really? Not from Fatso? They must have lots of surplus envelopes from movieshack and dvdunlimited that they need to get rid of.

the cardboard holder is the new fatso logo, but the back of the envelope says movieshack.. the dvd sleeve has some fancy numbering system too

oh noes they changed the envelopes? getting rid of subscription immediately

You'd never have a subscription to them anyway. You'd not even have a sub to anything because even the concept of a subscription is too mainstream. I assume you get your music and movies from a guy who will only meet you in a carpark who gets the stuff from another guy who leaves it in a dropbox and he in turn gets it from a Russian submariner and by christ, you don't want to know where he gets it from.

with old fatso, I'd press "returned" on a dvd and would have the next dvd in my mailbox the next day or the day after that. now it's taking up to a week.
also, all my emails to fatso used to be replied to. now I don't even get an acknowledgment response. so far, disappointed. |

yeah noticing that too, hopefully just a result of the changeover.

Holy christ woman, give them some time to sort their shit out. They've just absorbed 3 companies into one. They might be having some teething problems?

Kryten no worries mate, and yeh arse, gotta sort a new casual email addy - just join.

Hey guys, I'm involved with the merger. Any shipping/phone delays earlier in the week will be just the merger workload. Having to import and reprint 200,000+ dvds is fun
Everything should be sorted in a week or so, but if you have any general queries I'll check the thread when I get the chance.
