Lovefilm may improve but atm it's not worth a constant subscription
5 films for 99p? Just under £5. I'd rather pay the pound or so extra and stream those five and plenty more from Netflix (like episodes of 24 last night), while saving the 1.5 mile drive to my local Blockbusters.....assumming its still there.

My local video store went out of business last year. Says it all really.

Even this morning on the drive into work, the DJ on the radio was joking about how his missus wanted him him to goto the local video store, "Bugger that, I don't need the excerise, what's on Sky Anytime?"

No chance, not now.

There is some talk of Yahoo (of all people) buying Netflix, but for now its just talk.
