LOVEFiLM was recently released on the PlayStation 3, allowing LOVEFiLM customers to stream movies directly to their PS3. We’ve spent the past week trying out the service and are really impressed by what it has to offer. Its definitely a great addition to the PS3, and better value than the PlayStation Video Store.
Being a PS3 owner just keeps getting better and better. In the last few weeks we’ve seen the additions of Hulu Plus in North America and LOVEFiLM in the UK. Now, another streaming service will be heading to the PS3 beginning next week. VUDU, the HD movie streaming service, will be available to all PS3 users in the United States that are registered to PSN, making it the only gaming console to offer the service.
If you live in the UK, you may have noticed a new icon appear on the XMB today. You can now access LOVEFiLM’s massive catalogue of online movies to stream directly to your PS3. If you aren’t already a customer, you can sign up for a free 30 day trial. Streaming is free with monthly subscription of £5.99 or £9.99 and above.
With LOVEFiLM Streaming on it way to the PlayStation 3 soon, you may be wondering what the experience will be like. LOVEFiLM have released a short promotional video showing exactly what the interface looks like and how easy it is to use. Film Fans on LOVEFiLM subscription packages of £5.99 or above will be able to stream thousands of titles via their PS3.
Last week we reported that disc-free Netflix will be arriving later this month, but now Sony has announced the you will be able to stream Netflix disc-free from next week. Starting Monday, October 18 you’ll be able to instantly watch movies and TV shows without inserting an instant streaming disc into your console.
PS3 owners will soon be able to do-away with the Netflix streaming disc later this month as a disc-less solution will soon be available. Sony’s Jeff Rubenstein said on the PlayStation blog that a disc-less solution will released sometime this month, but that Sony hasn’t committed to a date.
Currently, Netflix users require a disc in order to stream TV shows to the PlayStation 3. Over the next few months, Netflix has confirmed that a disc-free solution will be rolled out similar to the Hulu Plus application. The Netflix application will allow dynamic updating of the Netflix library on the PS3 as well as providing bug fixes via patches.
You can now stream Netflix videos directly onto your PlayStation 3. The Blu-Ray discs required for streaming are shipping now, and will soon be available as a native application on the XMB. We have a video showing exactly how the disc works. The disc makes use of the Blu-Ray Live features to stream videos directly to your PS3, and it works pretty well.
You can stream videos, music, pictures, online videos, and more using Orb. You do not have to install anything on your PS3 to stream files.
VidZone is coming soon to PLAYSTATION 3 this summer, bringing thousands of streaming music videos to watch whenever you want, completely free of charge.
