Tom said:I just had a look at their site. The selection of films is pathetic, compared to what good torrent sites offer.
£6 a month sounds good, but not until they actually have something worth watching.
Thing is Steam have the tech to do it. Their DRM is ok(ish) and works. It should satisfy the Mafiaa.Yeah, That's pretty much what I am after. A steam for movies/shows.
In answer to your question Raven yes you can search and yeah I think they have a ton but it's not up to speed with their post service yet.
Netflix only launched over here last week, give it a while and it will have a shit ton of movies / tv shows on it. Think I'll subscribe just to watch arrested development.
And sadly that's how shops began, you think Tesco sold all the shit they sell now when the first ever one opened?It's like being asked to visit a newly-opened shop, finding that they sell fuck all, and then being asked to return a few weeks later. Netflix should have launched with tens of thousands of films, not a couple of hundred.
Right now I can go onto Immortalseed and download any one of hundreds of 1080p films, in less time than it takes to watch it. Sorry legal sites, but your product is just wank.
No shit but they are pretty much new over here, they have budgets etc.. they won't want to invest millions of pounds if they just flop and have to suspend the UK service within months.The internet is not Tesco.
Netflix is also not a new company.
Would it be feasible to cancel Sky Movies from my Sky package and use this instead?
(to be honest I hardly ever use Sky Movies, no time)
iTunes? / BlinkboxI would subscribe to a service which allows me to download the content to my house (and it can be protected by DRM) to allow me a watch twice before being deleted. Obviously it has to be in HD. Basically Steam but for films.
Personally I think Virgin / Sky only need to up there game slightly to win this outright.
