Note that 'unlimited' here means unlimited times. How many discs you can take each time depends on the packages, usually between 1 to 3 discs.

EasyCinema uses
's library, but applies a defferent price structure, which is in line with its 'no-frill' principle.
You buy credits first (4 credits for £7.96, 7 credits for £13.93 or 10 credits for £19.90), then use credit
