what do you think is better really?

I've used netflix for past 4 months or so but from what I see theres not a whole lot of new content added.

So is lovefilms online streaming updated a lot more often or just same as netflix really?

Not sure whether to subscribe to lovefilm or if it isn't worth it as i've heard quality on it is limited to SD where as netflix offers HD on a lot of titles.

I use Netflix, yet I also spoof my xbox's DNS so that I get their USA library. So much more on offer.

Never bothered with lovefilm, my friend told me its full of films you either seen, or don't want to see.

I don't think Amazon have changed it but cancelling membership seems to be a lot easier on Netflix than it is on Lovefilm, I had to actually contact them to get it done. When I tried both of them I enjoyed Netflix more really and there is always that DNS thing you can do!

Lovefilm is slightly cheaper than Netflix and they have more movies in the pay-per-view section (ofc you have to pay extra for those). But lovefilms' definition is terrible in all honesty, they crop stuff out of the shot too. Neither one has like a great selection of films so in all honesty I fail to see the point in paying for them :P

Tried both, prefer Netflix simply because their website is much easier to use and they have a lot more TV series than Lovefilm.

I've never used LoveFilm but I've been addicted to netflix since it was released in the UK. I got bored of the UK version though and did the dns trick to access the better shows. :P

Both are pretty crap for what they offer in the UK. Didn't try the DNS trick to get american content, how much more is there?

There is a ton more content on US :P

It's kinda stupid as theres more series of top gear on American version than UK version when top gear is a UK series -.-

by DNS trick i'm assuming you're using USA DNS servers such as unblock-us.com?

Anyone actually paying for unblock-us.com?

I love netflix, has full tv series' on which I can just flip on and watch instantly.

I have a lovefilm subscription to rent games & netflix to watch the odd film/tv series.

Any free US DNS's? I used to have one but it stopped working.
