Recommended Posts

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.

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 :)

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.

D'you know what the content is like on the BR players? I know that currently the list of films they offer to watch online through LoveFilm website are pretty dire and not in HD.

Maybe that is why Sony have green lighted this then. They don't see it as a real threat? Or it can only ever be SD?

Unfortunately not as he hasn't subscribed to it and is currently on a cruise of the Caribbean. I'm not jealous at all!

That image is so blurry and the original video has been removed, but it says something like...

Watch film ? on your PS3 and get the ? ? selection of DVD, Blu Ray & PS3 games as part of your LoveFilm sub.

So are they giving you guys blu ray quality ( picture ) streams? If so, I'm so jealous.

I'm still waiting for the netflix app to come out so I can stop using a damn disc.
