Cinflix focuses on Asian and foreign DVDs--claiming to have the largest selection in the US--covering the gamut of Korea, Hong Kong, India, and Japan. This is a major plus for those with broad Asian interests, as sites tend to cover India or China/Japan/Korea--not both. They also have some European titles.
In fact, if they don't have a DVD you'd like, just click the Request a Title button on the bottom and they'll do their best to acquire it. They even have US and Asian adult films.
One major plus is they have a Quick Return system; just let them know that you've popped your discs in the mail, and they'll dispatch your next lot of DVDs without waiting to receive the first ones. This can dramatically speed up turnaround times.
There is an excellent browsing engine, allowing browsing by country, genre (no less than 39 to sift through!), subtitle language, or DVD region code. The actual information for each title is adequate, listing language, subtitles, region, director, and cast (and all hyperlinked), with a lengthy synopsis. They have much more info like year, length, etc. on another tab, but we'd really have preferred them all on one page like most DVD rental sites. That said, many of the films include trailers you can watch online to get a sense for the film, which is a rare plus. You can also view or write member reviews.
There are some other extras, like RSS feeds to keep up to date with their latest releases, refer to a friend bonuses, and even an option to sell your Asian DVDs to them, another rarity.
Prices: Cinflix has four unlimited tariffs to choose from, but not the common one and three disc ones you'd expect. They offer a two disc out plan for $16.99 per month, though you can double that for a mere 3 bucks more with a four disc plan for $19.99, or a 6 disc plan for $29.99, or a whopping 8 disc plan for $36.99.
They also have an extensive array of gift plans and discounted long-term plans. We suggest starting with a one month trial, then if you like them, lock in a cheap deal for a long period. For instance, their common 4 disc out plan is $198.99 up front per year, which averages out to only $16.66 per month.
Asian/Indian service with an excellent website and very broad selection of foreign films.
