I find the same with SS. It seems to happen every so often and then
return to normal, maybe they're just particularly busy?

I do wonder if they try and do some sort of throttling though, to slow
you down if you are returning stuff too quickly. Overall, I've been very
happy with them in the couple of years I've been with them.

Agreed, I don't think I've managed to find any DVD that they don't list
on the site. For the last few weeks, I seem to be getting quite a few
new releases.

They do seem crap with games though. Since they started renting them a
few months ago, I've had several Xbox 360 games in my priority list and
not seen a single one so far.

I expect it's that they've only got 1 copy of each game :-) Or more
likely that people would tend to hang onto games a lot longer than they
would a DVD.
