XIDDI - DVD Trading Club is the internet’s alternative to renting or buying DVDs. In its simpliest form, a DVD trading club allows you to trade (sell) and receive (buy) DVDs without using cash and with no transaction charges. The service is a way of sharing your collection of DVDs with other users and in return, you get to watch DVDs that you haven’t seen. All this for a fraction of the traditional cost of renting, pay-per-view or buying. The first thing you do is go shopping and build a list of films that you would like to watch - this list is called your 'Wanted list'. Once Xiddi matches a request, the owner of that DVD will post it directly to you for you to enjoy. At this point, the DVD belongs to you and you can keep it for as long as you want. However, once you have watched it, you may choose to re-list the DVD on Xiddi and thus complete the sharing cycle. If you do this, you will be expected to package, address and post the DVD to another member in the same way that they did it for you. Click Here to browse the XIDDI database for your favorites. This is the best idea for DVD watchers since the invention of remote control!
