+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted October 11, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted October 11, 2010 A video was posted on the Playstation 3 YouTube channel on the 21st September. It's entitled 'LOVEFiLM is coming to PlayStation 3′. It shows an advertisement that includes the Lovefilm app running on a PS3. It's only got 123 views so seems to have gone pretty unnoticed but there you go folks. You can stream movies and manage your rental lists and account. The service will be free to those of us with LoveFilm accounts ? take a look below for the video and some screenshots. From Autumn, film fans on LoveFilm subscription packages can start streaming thousands of titles through their TV to their PS3. Open up a world of interactivity and scroll through popular titles and search through categories including 'Pick of the Week', 'Most watched' and 'Highest Rated'. Free trials and incentives will be made available to those who are not already a LOVEFiLM subscriber so no-one misses out! With thousand of popular titles available on LOVEFiLM, there will never be a shortage of great films to watch.

acnpt Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Hopefully they will improve the range of films, as the streaming service on their website is pretty dire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbandonedTrolley Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 You know what doesn't seem right about that shot. The wording indicates getting games streamed too...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbandonedTrolley Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 My dad has the app as such on his Sony blu-ray player, so if it's the same then it will be ?9.99 per month, unlimited rentals. If it's the same price point then I'm in :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbandonedTrolley Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Ah, a Netflix competitor? No this is UK based. Netflix is US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted October 11, 2010 Veteran Share Posted October 11, 2010 Ah, a Netflix competitor? No, it's UK only. £10 p/m is the sweet spot. It would only be better if it was included as part of your membership so you could still rent games on disc. Next, Spotify please! (sounding like a broken record I know, but c'mon!)

It's certainly ?10 on the Sony BR players. It just does surprise me that Sony would bring this to the PS3 pretty much killing the movie side of the Sony Store.

They don't see it as a real threat? Or it can only ever be SD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted October 11, 2010 Veteran Share Posted October 11, 2010 That image is so blurry and the original video has been removed, but it says something like...
