you should be able to get a free trial of both – what have you got to loose? Just make sure you make a note of the date you need to cancel the DDs
personally I have been with lovefilm (DVDs in the post) for years. When they initially launched the streaming service through PS3 I wasn’t that impressed (picture quality was rubbish) – but it has improved a lot. Through virgin broadband it is close to DVD (but nowhere near blu ray) quality. I actually think their selection is pretty good – good mix of classic/ cult and a fair few “current” movies – yes you aren;t going to find the avengers on there – but they have lots of film 4 type stuff.
Personally I’m a film geek – and enjoy it as an extra to the postal service. But it isn;t at all bad for 6 quid a month just for streaming
I tried the free trial of netflix and found the picture quality to be good, and the UI to be very good on PS3 – but there was very little I wanted to watch. Someone commented that it was like the selection of DVDs you find in the bargain bin at the 24 hour garage, pretty much spot on.
but like I say – give both free trials a go
