MUBI streaming service coming to PS3

Thats absolutely fantastic. I love these movies.

OMFG that thing has EYES IN ITS HANDS! What’s wrong with you people?

I would be more interested in Sky Player. Great news for people who want to buy the films from there though.

wow that is cool!! Need to know what the selection and pricing would be like but still kickass!

Now, if this sort of stuff was included with the rumored Premium Service, I’d sub to it.

300-500 movies available at launch, more added weekly. Some free, some not. Either PPV or an all you can eat sub – http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/sony-reveals-mubi-timing-price-plan

Cool. I’m wondering if all the stuff on the Bravia TV’s will be on PS3 soon too. They’ve made much about their new shared network strategy, so hopefully dedicated apps for YouTube, Lovefilm, etc aren’t far away.

actually as cool as this is why cant scee just bring lovefilm over to the console?

@8 Up until recently, LoveFilm didn’t do streaming or on demand stuff. They have now started that on their website and selected Sony Blu-ray players. It’s more than likely it will come to other devices, PS3 included.

cool stuff this is.

A Sky player, as someone suggested, would be massive, but where the fuck shall i insert the smartcard?!

Just been reading the comments over at the EU blog, the movies will be £3 each (or just £1 for short films) and will all be SD only to start with.

Nice idea, I’ll be interested to see the selection of films available.

Nice one Sony.
Now I can have a choice rather than most of the rubbish that comes out of Hollywood these days.

You guys have to pay per movie?

You all really need Netflix. The low end script is like 8usd/month and its unlimited streaming, and has an insane amount of Movies and TV shows.

And it includes movies delivered to your door.

And it works on your Wii, PS3 and xb360. At night we will often have three xb360s streaming movies at the same time, each of us in our own rooms.

The trouble with Netflix is it’s only available in the US.

I know, Blerk. My heart bleeds for those folks that can’t get it. It truly is amazing. If it wasn’t for sports, we wouldn’t have cable TV at all.

I wonder if a US account could activate a Euro system so that system could stream movies?

no it couldnt.
netflix is ip blocked.
Only american IPs can access it. Not only on PS or XBOX but in general.
Only thing we could do is to use a us based free proxy (who are normaly to slow for such bandwiths needed or setting up an vpn network with someone we know in us. but thats also not very useful)

That sucks

Oh man, that looks too good to be true. I’d actually buy a Triple if it’s as good as it makes out.

Somehow I expect not though…

Also, what’s the film at 1.02 with the lass running away from some beast?! The Host?

Brilliant films.

Include a sub in the premium PSN package and I’ll be all over this bad boy.

I would like to see some sort of ‘playlist’ or ‘recommended’ feature with this service.

Some way of the service to recommend films for you to view. I’m pretty savy when it comes to films but i’d always like to have new experiences suggested to me.

Perhaps we could export HTTP links (ala Spotify) to share with others?

This very much appeals to the cinema elitist in me. I’d love Netflix to be in Europe, but a high quality cinema specialist offering appeals to me even more.

Looks like there will be an option to pay a flat monthly fee and watch as much as you like in addition to the pay per view model, which also appeals greatly.

@Tomo: I think so -> http://the-reviewer.net/wp-content/uploads/the_host_poster.jpg
