The rumours are true Netflix is going to launch in the UK early next year. Unlimited streaming is coming to PCs, Macs, tablets and mobile devices with “low subscription price”. It will be good for Lovefilm to have competition.

Agree, though, good to have some competition for Amazons’ Lovfilm; 2012 should be interesting.
Successful companies will do this and especially since there are more companies that our offering streaming and access to more and more movies everyday. The Blockbuster movie pass is the one I really like because it’s affordable and I have access to thousands of channels to my TV and PC for a $10/mo charge. DISH Network customers can take advantage of this in the Dish Platinum package. Working for DISH Network I can tell you Blockbuster movie pass also comes with a one disc at a time rental by mail which cover games, DVD’s and blu-rays.
