We're not big movie watchers but this makes it so easy to just chuck a film on and for only £6 a month I think it's quite good value....but....unless the range of movies increases a lot then I can't see us keeping it. There are some huge decent films missing from the library which makes it kind of pointless if I can't watch the films I want to.

Can you leave those set permanently or do you need to delete them for normal online stuff and gaming?

I haven't had an issue with things but I haven't tried any online gaming with it set.

The only thing I hate about Netflix is they use Silverlight and the performance on my iMac is abysmal. So I can't just throw something on while I'm processing photos.

Oh and all the anime is dubbed. Criminal.

Few older films about that I've been enjoying too so I really haven't struggled to find something to watch.

For £5.99, it seems a bargain to me. Saves me renting/buying boxsets which I know I'd have ended up doing!

Looking forward to seeing the content expand. It's Only Sunny in Philadelphia was recently added and I've heard great things of that from US friends so I'm keen to see it.
I signed up Saturday night to get the Quidco thing because when I'm working I like stuff on in the background and TV shows are the best thing to watch, mostly stuff like Jen's mentioned above. I looked a few months back and the content was shocking, not worth even a free trial, but now it's improved quite a lot, so am sure it will only get better over time. I think for 6 quid a month (I spend more on a trip to Starbucks), it's worth it.

It only launched in the UK last month So it would have been a bit crap a few months back

Pete: Just switched my DNS settings around on the PS3 and works like a dream Thanks for the tip

I signed up when it launched on xbox so I must have missed that Quidco offer! I love it, the quality of streaming is brilliant and far better than LoveFilm. Having said that I didn't stop my LoveFilm subscription completely yet, because I still need that to watch a few things on there that I can't get on Netflix like The Walking Dead which is superb!

So much choice!
