Netflix is now in the UK

But love film sucks. Bergius is a lit better. Not great, but a lot better.
Thought it would be more. I chanced the American subscription last month. So will be getting the free trial. Not sure how much I'll use it with current selection though.
Yup, click 'sign up with another address' underneath. You still get a free month!
Ahh, thanks. That only appeared when I wasn't signed into FB!
Signed up this morning and had a quick look just to see what the quality was like. Definitely better than Lovefilm's stream but miles off 720p streaming from AppleTV. Going to keep it going for the free month, but unless the catalog of titles is massively updated, I will cancel before being billed.
I don't mind waiting a couple of days to get a BD disc in the mail from Lovefilm and I don't want to pay anymore than I already am. There is no disc service from Lovefilm at £4 so I can't get it low enough to justify spending £5.99 on Netflix.

The feature where it takes your film ratings of films you've seen and recommends films you haven't seen based on those ratings is really effective, everything it's recommended so far I've really enjoyed. (I've been using since the start of December as a beta tester 
)

I was going to sign up as well until I realised they needed my cc details , why do they need them if its a trial???????
Its not like your trialing lovefilm or BB that send you discs that people could nick while on the trial.
It's quite simple; they hope that at the end of the free trial, one of two things will happen (It's quite a large part of the business model of services like Netflix):
1. You enjoy the service so much you want to keep using it at £5.99 per month, and as such it's "convenience" that you don't need to do anything to continue.
2. Your life will be hectic and busy, or you will be lazy, and forget about the renewal date, causing you to be billed for another month.
As long as you remember to cancel by the end of the month you won't be billed. Simples.

How annoying, no PS3 app to watch Netflix...
To help stop abuse. You can cancel just after you have signed up and the account will still last one month .
Rumour has it that apple is going to be doing a subscription based model later in the year.
They've not long taken away the option to rent TV program's to please the networks. Can't see them adding a subscription service, not unless it's just for back catalog titles.
