Blockbuster’s list of exclusive films has gone supernova; LoveFilm is taking a few tips from Wikipedia; and Boomerang Games Rental is loving Battlefield: Bad Company…
LoveFilm Puts You In Control with Wiki-style tool
UK DVD rental website LoveFilm is putting you in control, with a recent addition to their classy website.
LoveFilm ‘Biographies’ allows customers to share their knowledge on their favourite actor or director with the entire LoveFilm community.
Much like Wikipedia, customers of the DVD rental giant can write or edit a biography on any actor or director listed in the LoveFilm catalogue. And according to the LoveFilm techies, it’s really easy to do!
To edit or create a biography, simply search for your chosen person using the box at the top right of any page. Then click on their name in the results, and go to their page. Finally hit ‘write a biography’ or ‘change it’, and off you go!

Boomerang Names Battlefield: Bad Company Game of the Week
UK games rental website, Boomerang Games, this week featured the all action Battlefield: Bad Company as its game of the week.
Released last month, on 27h June 2008, Boomerang describes Battlefield: Bad Company as ‘dropping gamers behind enemy lines, with a squad of renegade soldiers who risk it all on a personal quest for gold and revenge.’
Boomerang compliments Battlefield: Bad Company on its ‘deep, cinematic single-player experience, loaded with adventure and dark humour.’
Battlefield: Bad Company is currently available to rent on Xbox 360, from the Boomerang Games Rental website.

Exclusive To Blockbuster
LAST week we brought you news that Blockbuster had won the rights to rent Son of Rambo exclusively.
This week their list of exclusive rentals has gone supernova, expanding to a massive eight titles!
Generally Blockbuster only has the exclusivity for a few weeks; however it does give them an advantage for anyone who wants fast access to new releases. Blockbuster also claim to buy more copies of new releases than anyone else.
Films that are only available to rent at Blockbuster now include The Eye, Street Kings, Meet the Spartans, Never Back Down and Leatherheads.
Mal Simons from Blockbuster notes that ‘with exclusive titles, our valued Blockbuster members (in-store and online) can see the great films before they're available anywhere else.’
Simons also points out that Blockbuster has got ‘a terrific line-up of online exclusives at the moment and we're sure to have even bigger exclusives going forward. We go the extra mile to secure the A-list titles that our members will enjoy.’
