Hi Monahan
I'll be sending you my trust vote in a bit because I've read some of your reviews and trust what you say...hey that's why they call it a trust vote right...
but in the meantime I am very interested in understanding this process more...'too goo to be true'...was this within the same original membership month, and having said that...looking at the lists, xmovies is a good list...did you sense that the delta that videobox has over and above xmovies was generally the videos that wouldn't swing the choice...
I'm a current member of ZTOD which gives you thirdmovies and have to say whilst the numbers are not the same, they appear to hold the cream and have got rid of the curd on ZTOD. I'd rather 1000 dvds / all pretty girls/good scenes than 10000 dvd where you have to waste time finding gems...although the 5 a day top up is an incentive...I take it still have both memberships....
Thanks for reviews

REPLY TO #1 - JBDICK :
Thanks for your compliments.
ZTOD has, I understand, exclusives from Zero Tolerance. That's a big plus for ZTOD, which I have yet to join. The DRM kept me away, and now the price. And the slow D/L speed that you mentioned in your review isn't too appealing either.
The price concessions occurred over a few months. I signed up at the TBP discount for a month, then the "please stay" rate when I canceled the original membership. At $9.99, I decided to hold on for another few months, then decided the redundancy with VideoBox, with its much larger inventory, made no sense.
So I canceled again, and this time was offered the $5.99 price which I accepted and have continued as a member. For 20 cents a day, 1/2 the cost of a first class stamp, I figured that there was no need to cancel.
However I find that, by and large, the redundancy is almost total; I usually can find the same stuff on X Movies already posted on VideoBox. The only benefit to continuing X Movies, if it is a benefit, is that X Movies offers IPOD, MPEG and WMV formats where VideoBox offers only WMV. In two or three cases I've used X Movies D/L for a DVD that didn't load properly on VideoBox.
One last point. In a few cases where X Movies has a DVD that is not on VideoBox, X Movies offers streaming only, no D/L. VideoBox has streaming but always permits full downloads of everything on its site.
Summary. If you sign up at $19.99, cancel in 2 or 3 weeks, and you should get the $9.99 deal. Then stick around for another month and cancel again and you should then get the $5.99 deal.
