Worked out the other day that if I stayed on my Lovefilm package (3 Blu Ray rentals + 2 hours of steaming per month) + Netflix, that would come to just under £11. £2 more if I added unlimited streaming from Lovefilm. I could live with that, that would be less then watching 3 HD movies from Flimflex in a single month.

For anyone interested in who's got what:
