Moviestar.ie
Moviestar.ie was an DVD-by-mail website, offering flat rate subscription to customers in Ireland.
Customers paid a monthly flat-fee service for the rental of films and TV series on DVD. Once subscribed, the customers created an ordered list, called a rental queue, of DVDs to rent. The DVDs were delivered individually via the An Post from a central distribution centre. Customers paid the monthly flat-rate, and could keep the DVDs as long as they liked; however their next choice would not be sent to them until they returned their current choice in a supplied free-post envelope.
Users were asked to post their reviews and ratings for each DVD, and this user-generated content was publicly viewable.
The website won at the 2006 Golden Spider Awards for the Best Website Launched in 2006.[1]
Movie downloads
In May 2008, Moviestar.ie introduced a digital video-on-demand download service, making it the first service to allow users to download movies legally in Ireland.[2]
