  1. Get cracking with that alternate sauce to my N4G post linked to the PS Blog. GO GO GO!

  2. Been looking forward to this, a movie streaming service I can use in Ireland. I was beginning to think it wouldn’t happen, pleased to be surprised! Now I better go get some PSN vouchers.

    • I’n not getting my hopes up until its on my XMB, remember the video store was ment to launch in Ireland when it did in The UK

      • Yeah. Though by many accounts the video store was a non-starter. I’m confident we’ll see mubi, judging from the website – there’s a lot Irish PS3 owners can choose from.

      • cool hopefully this leads to more features for us

  3. That was an excellent trailer

    • Agreed, really got me interested. Do I get full points for recognising all the film references in there? :)

  4. My have to test a film and see if I get any lag with my connection.

    • *Might* not my! I blame it being a monday!

      • Good excuse. I may have to use that one myself.

  5. Arthouse? Are you sure? Lol. I can’t see the video on my phone, does anyone know what films are available on this? And do we have a date for lovefilm yet?

    • ” … the best of independent, classic and world cinema.”

      That’s arthouse in my mind.

      • Taste full nudes springs to mind for me when Art-house in mentioned or maybe that reflects on the films my drama friend watches

      • No; that’s porn. Plain and simple. Porn.

  6. Can’t wait!

    I just hope the image/sound quality won’t be rubbish (like the xbox 360 Sky service).

  7. This is great stuff! Great trailer too!

  8. Excited about this. Looks great.

  9. I will be interested if there’s a lot of anime… and great movies..

    • You’re in luck, there is a good bit of anime on there. A lot of Studio Ghibli’s movies are on the list including Hayao Miyazaki’s fantastic work.

  10. I likey, looks good. Nice trailer too!
