nice, now when i turn on my ps3 i expect the new FW update to work after 3 attempts earlier
Miss_Wacy on 19 Nov '09
Yeah I've seen it earlier. The prices for most films are much closer to Ł3.99 for a rent and Ł11.99 to buy for standard definiton. Think I'll still use Blockbusters thanks.
wrightandrewjame on 19 Nov '09
It's nice that you can buy though. Been waiting for similar on Live. Two years ago they said that we'd be able to buy TV series and yet there's been at least two console updates with nothing.

I work at blockbuster so renting is free anyway so the whole thing is wasted on me until I finally can't take retail anymore.
ledickolas on 19 Nov '09
I doubt that I will rent any films, but I will probably buy a couple of good 'uns for use with the PSP. That's the hook for me.
Mark240473 on 19 Nov '09
Works out cheaper for me to rent from psn as there is no local dvd/bluray rental places and the nearest blockbuster is 5 miles away (and their prices aren't the best anyway last I checked). Braveheart looks stunning in HD so totally worth it. If only they did game rentals Smile

still not live here

Do we have to download movies we rent or are they streamed from the internet?
Multiplayerking on 19 Nov '09
I'm on there right now. 556 movies to rent, 149 HD movies. Rent dr dolittle 2 in HD for Ł3.49 Wink. Own it for Ł6.99. Looks good. Might give it a go one night with the wife when nothings on tv.

Well, i have an UK account here in Spain and Ive got nothing here.

Its up and running, ive been in. I have a spanish and Uk account. the Spanish one seems to only have Spanish Audio though, bad move Sony!!

People want original version often.

Have you tried to buy anything Jazzy? Im not sure it will let you in the Uk account even, i got a strange message saying something due to my account.

The movie rentals are the same as they are on the 360 if you start to watch it you have 24 hours to finish it.
That's movie companies for you Ł$
pp82 on 20 Nov '09
I just checked this it's not 24hrs its 48hrs!! not bad really considering it's a few Łs to rent a new film anyway and you only get one night normally, saves driving back to blockbuster, and no late reurns.Shame they don't have some of the newer films to rent though as i don't want to pay for film i will only watch once when i can rent it!

Slight problem, they are all 2 channel. I didnt buy a home cinema for my blu rays to listen to a film in stereo. Think i'll stick with discs.
saintbone on 20 Nov '09
Think it would have been nice to give a movie to the early adopters ( ourselves ). Seems the same with everything - the loyal get nothing as they are to busy attracting new people. Maybe they should think of the people they have got already more?
pantzman on 20 Nov '09
I haven't got it yet. Confused
Where is it on your menu?
