This so the lovefilm for me is a free extra but will give netflix ago.

To be honest i think love film offers the better service? ( What do you think ? )

.

Netflix has the better quality steaming when compared to Lovefilm, but love film offers more choice on the streaming service and the retail side of things.

I used Netflix last night and watched 4 films, and not once did it buffer, or drop quality ( That is better than love film ). But when you search for new films ( even some older but popular films ) Netflix hasn't got them, while Lovefilm has.

Example. Search ( Pirates of the caribbean ) and on netflix you only have the 1st film, ( None of the others ) while Lovefilm have them all either buy streaming or rental.

IMO i would say Lovefilm would be the better choice out the two so far.

Netflix is only rolling out the service here(UK & Ireland),so I'm sure they'll add alot more to the database in the coming weeks/months.

What a load of crap Netflix is, how anyone would pay for this very limited service is beyond me.

I picked out about 3 films last night that interested me (wasting an hour of searching and trying the quality etc) and that was in HD and 5.1 because come on, a film in stereo in this day and age! The rest I might as well dig out my old VHS collection or download them..

Then the film I did watch (West is West) was a load of tosh and nothing like I expected given the original. So 2 more films to watch (If I can bring myself to it).

There's is films I've been wanting to watch for a while now, I am Legend, and Wall-E. Guess what? They don't even exist and there not like they are new or unpopular films!

Search Will Smith for instance, a fine actor from many great films over the years. He has 2 films on Netflix. Seriously

yeah the choice is mince to be brutally honest about it .... i was so pushed to watch something i ended up watching tron ( the original )

lovefilm wins hands down for choice of film

It's actually a pretty good service. I've mainly used it on my laptop, but PS3 seems just as easy to use. I would say it's a lot better then Lovefilm and it seems quicker overall.

I was amazed when it had a movie I was looking to watch for years, but it was never released in the UK on dvd, so finding the movie on netflix made my day

Whether I'll keep my subscription after the free month I don't know, I've already got quite a lot of use out of it.

May I be nosey and ask what movie?

Sure, Delta Farce.

This is why i said that Lovefilm has more choice and content.

Netflix has a good streaming service, but in UK it is so far lacking compared to other UK services. In time Netflix will get better, but IMO ( and only time will tell ) the Netflix we all know in USA would not be in the same for UK.

I must say, I am very pleased with Netflix. Been using it since last Friday non stop. I love the fact most of the content is in HD and they add full seasons of shows aswell. So far I have watched Heroes seasons 1-3 now ready to start 4!, imo...it is WAY better than Lovefilm. Now for those of you who mentioned lack of content, be sensible, its only just started here in the UK. I called up customer services on Monday night to ask about content updates oh and btw...the call centre is based in the US for those who haven't called them yet!. They told me and I quote "How it works is we charge everyone £5.99 a month and the more subscribers we get paying that monthly price, the more content we can buy from studios to add onto the service. Also, the content on there currently is what we've been able to buy without the subscriber fee's." So really, there will be more content added as the weeks go on if there are plenty of subscribers paying.

I still do not understand how they can ask me to subscribe (even if it's only a free trial) without even showing a single item of their catalogue? Why don't they allow potential customers to browse the catalogue so they can find out if they are interested?

Just for this reason I have already classified them in the category of "companies I don't want to deal with because they think they are more important than their customers".

Account use can not be done buy PS3 app only, so you have to surf the net any way were you can find the "How it works" and "Browse" catalogue options. 

And yes this Includes "The PS3 browser". ( Just went on it )
