Ever since LOVEFiLM launched on the PS3’s XMB in the UK last November, movie fanatics have streamed a large collection of titles, for free, as part of their subscription.
Today it has been announced that Europe’s largest subscription service will be available on German PS3s.
Simon Calver, Chief Executive of LOVEFiLM, is excited by the expansion to another European country:
The extension of our partnership with Sony beyond the UK is a significant move in expanding our digital home entertainment service internationally. PS3™ already has a strong customer base in Germany who will now be able to benefit from our vast collection of titles that can be streamed directly to their living rooms.
Highlights of the films available include Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Batman Begins and Beowulf.
We hope that other countries in Europe will soon see the service launching there too!

I probably use Lovefilm more than I do games now. Whilst the streaming service isn’t perfect, it’s a great base to build from and they do have a number of newer films too. I think the quality is pretty good as well, as good as the iPlayer anyway. At the end of the day, it is a free addition to my subscription. So On days where I have no disc, I’ll watch a film on that service. Either way, it’s better than Mubi for me, or the PS Store.
