America's streaming movie service provided by Netflix has been a huge success!
The Xbox LIVE service seems really unfair, if you read MajorNelson's blog (xbox developer), how often to you read his new announcement folowed by (US only).
and with the currency exhange at the minute, we are paying a lot more than our American friends, for what is a much more limited service.
They pay $38.99 (which is £27.35)
We pay £40.00
But there's not a lot we can do bout it... I've asked MajorNelson bout it, but he refuses to respond.
I asked him why they don't make a similar arrangement with LOVEFiLM to provide a streaming service in the UK as well, and whilst he didn't respond, interestingly LOVEFiLM would reply to the same question.
Their response:
"It's something we're investigating and definitely and area that we'd like to explore."
so there's hope for us yet eh? Lets hope they get round to sorting this, before Netflix entend their coverage to the UK, surely there's a huge un-tapped market for both to grab at?
Lets face it, until you can stream movies for a membership fee of £5/month like they do in the States, we're not paying to rent movies from XBOX LIVE.
