I can't comment on the quality of the streaming from Netflix and Lovefilm as I've seen neither but that is a very important point. From my (admittedly) quick look at the content of the two offerings it seemed to me that Netflix offered predominantly American content while Lovefilm seemed to have a fair sprinkling of UK and European content. Personally, I'd be more interested in the latter - providing, of course, the streaming quality was good. I'll be interested to see how this one develops.
