MUBI On PS3 - "Netflix" for EU


Recommended Posts

Like what? MUBI is coming to PS3. Which means your console will become an online cinema.

Cool. Why?

Well, most people who are into gaming love cinema, which pretty much answers the question.

When?

From October.

Where?

Straight to the point! We like that… So, to begin with it will be available in the UK, Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Australia and New Zealand

How much?

Certainly no messing around with you. Ok, an 'all you can watch' monthly subscription is €12.99 / £9.99. Individual films are €3.59 / £2.99 each. Sweet, right?

Can you expand a bit?

Sure. Didn't expect that one but I'll improvise. MUBI is an online social cinematheque that will bring the best independent, classic, and international films to your living room. Watch favorites like Amélie, Pan's Labyrinth, and Mulholland Dr. to festival gems and award winners from every festival in the planet.

MUBI is also social; it's not just a virtual cinema but also the cafe next door, where film discussion takes place. You can rate and become a fan of films, share your recommendations on PlayStation Network and Facebook, follow your friends, and get real-time updates on the films they love. That came out right I, thought…

Didn't get any of that but anyway… What's with the haircut?

Ehhh…

I think ?2.99 a throw is very reasonable. Any word on how long the rentals last for? I've rented a couple of films from the PSN in the past, and if I recall rightly then I had a week or five days or something to watch them after their first playback.

Independent, Classic, and International films? Sounds good but we'll still be missing out on a lot of blockbusters from the big studios. Hopefully they'll expand eventually but I was personally hoping for an all-encompassing video rental service!

Any word on whether the content is HD?
