The Playstation 3 is IDENTITY THEFT

two PS3 film streaming services have launched in the UK in the last week, Mubi and Lovefilm. you wait years for one to come and then....

Would like to know how many films I could stream a month on the 'light use' (5.99) lovefilm package; lovefilm won't tell me unless I actually sign up.

I think its 2 hours per month....

Its weird as love-film don't let you use credits for streaming, I would forgo DVDs + blu-rays entirely if I could just have 3 films per month streamed but they don't do it that way.

2 hours are you serious?? why don't they just call it "one movie"

omg that is ridic. it seems they haven't separated it from their dvd package so you pays your 5.99 and gets 3 discs a months plus 2 hours streaming. fucking useless. cunts.

(xp i guess that's what you said already more or less)

its unlimited on the 9.99 package tho
lovefilm interface is a little clunky & theres too much loading screen stuff, could be cos its just launched though
mubi interface is beautiful

what happens if you want to watch one movie longer that 2 hours i.e. pretty much any movie released in the last ten years

Satc 2 FAIL

why can't i get a net-only package?? gah

gotta say Mubi looks very promising

- movie rentals - £3 per movie, you can play it as many times as you want for seven days

- all you can eat for £10 a month

- selected free films. the first one will be an online premiere of Revolución

- here is their recently added movies page:

Gorgeous interface too, as mentioned above.

you can have a net-only all you can eat package from lovefilm @ £10 a month, just don't put anything in your queue

Anybody have an opinion on Catan for PSN?

Not interested in all-you-can-eat actually, since I don't watch movies at home enough to justify it - doing one-offs sounds perfect to me

also who EATS movies these days

it's pretty good but the lack of widespread mic penetration among PSN users makes it less fun than the 360 version. really though I just wish a decent version (by which I mean one w/ asynchronous online multiplayer) would come out for iPhone/iPad.

i got some widespread penetration for you right here

I walk away from this conversation with the impression that 360 owners stick microphones up their asses

Why bother? They don't even vibrate.

RUBMLE PACK FTW

possibly should have gone in the lulz thread

mubi's very very nice

signed up for lovefilm but kinda disappointed with the amount of new stuff on there, e.g. only 4 out of the top 20 of the ile films of the 00s. is netflix any better or is that just what film streaming is like in this fucking day and age?

Netflix is great in the U.S. but I've heard it stinks in Canada so far.

No it's good and getting better!

PAC-MAN CE FINALLY FUCKING COMING TO PSN NEXT WEEK THANK YOU LORD. for some reason my share group isn't interested in it, though for a game this great I will happily pay full price this once.

why will no one hep me to a "share group"

i got u

why will three other people not join our "share group"

so, so trusting *rubs hands together*

errrr what is a share group?

you would think at least the ILG Britishes would be jumping at the chance to get access to all the stuff on the US store (and for 1/5th of the price!)

RADIO SILENCE

i think i just ain't committed to gaming enough atm for it to be worthwhile.

for it to be worthwhile to get free games for about 5 seconds of effort?

so is this jailbreak thing completely patched and no longer useful for playing backups? seen a few ps3 torrents around but thought it was all fixed up in 2 days

So my boy bought a 3rd party controller for his PS3 the other week and the fucker just wouldn't recognise it. He swapped it for a second one, same problem. I read on the net that the latest firmware upgrade has disabled a lot of 3rd party software, is that right? And why hasn't anybody burned down Sony HQ if so?

"3rd party hardware" I meant.

Pac-Man DX omfg

Yeah, it's amazing.

presumably i have to pay my share somewhere along the line?

gran turismo out today?

Got mine yesterday. Current ratio of playing time to installing/loading screens 1:5.

lol - is it a download or do you gotta go to the store?

"free" is an overstatement; gamesharing lets you get PSN stuff for 1/5th of the price (i.e. Steam sale rates). for instance, on my current share group I'm paying $7 total for Pac-Man CE DX, Spelunker (sadly not Spelunky), and Dead Nation.

Can everyone in the group play these games at the same time?
