UK Netflix?

OK so we have Lovefilm over here which is a poor version of Netflix


Has anyone heard if there will be a UK Netflix or a better than Lovefilm equivalent of?

I'm pretty sure Netflix will expand to the UK since it is the 3rd largest filmed entertainment market in the world. They actually tried to get into the UK market in 04 but due to intensified competition in the US they didn't. Don't worry they have their sets sight on the UK

Ohhhhh OK thank you. Urghhh I hope it's soon.

is Lovefilm really that bad? Sorry I don't live in the UK

There are worse things... You select a whole bunch of DVD's you would LIKE to see and you have payment packages of one DVD at a time then two DVD's at a time and so on a so forth...

With that once you send your existing DVD's back they will send you the next on your list etc. They have recently (fairly anyway) put up a feature included in your package which enables you to watch movies online but the choice of films is shocking.

A few of the movies I selected to watch online were really poor quality and when I called LF to complain (nicely) haha. They shrugged me off so I left.

A little light at the end of a long tunnel I guess.

Thank you.

No problem, but meanwhile if you can live with the guilt you can just pirate movies in high quality

My conscience would eat me alive.
