Open up a world of interactivity and scroll through popular titles and search through categories including 'Pick of the Week', 'Most watched' and 'Highest Rated'.

Free trials and incentives will be made available to those who are not already a LOVEFiLM subscriber so no-one misses out!

With thousand of popular titles available on LOVEFiLM, there will never be a shortage of great films to watch."

I will keep my firmware 3.41 to all costs for sure.

A flop? really? LoveFilms is the equivalent of Netflixs and its dominant in the market. You get the DVD, online/PS3 usage if you want - it seems like a great service and I wish I could get it here in Poland.

So true, what sony needs to do is give us a real media player like xbmc, but of course they cannot as they want blurays to exist.

Roll on a media player like vlc or xbmc for jb ps3's.

Big Flick, like... Star Trek, Collateral, Alexander, and other big hits.

Wow, can't wait for this, i may even stop downloading from newsgroups altogether with movies like that!

They are so old, they may as well still be on VHS.
