LoveFilm for the PS3 available now

<img src="http://cdn.mos.techradar.com////classifications/computing/internet-and-broadband/images/LoveFilm-200-200.jpg"> PlayStation users can now get LoveFilm on their PS3s, thanks to a new app for the service appearing on the XMB. Announced originally back in October, the <a href="http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/official-lovefilm-comes-to-the-ps3-900621">LoveFilm app</A> allows subscribers to watch movies through the PS3, as long as they are on the 5.99 (without games) package or higher. This is a major step for LoveFilm who has been looking to increase its dominance in the movie-streaming market. A LoveFilm app has already appeared on web connected <a href="http://www.techradar.com/reviews/audio-visual/televisions/plasma-and-lcd-tvs/sony-kdl-40hx703-694120/review">Samsung and Sony TVs</A>, but the PS3 is by far the most popular device the service has landed on. You shouldn't need to download anything for the LoveFilm app to appear. If it is not there on your XMB, then turn your PS3 on and off again (seriously). Streaming limits If you are on a £5.99 package then this is considered 'light use' so there is a limit to the amount of movie watching you can do. Those who have the £9.99 package, though, can watch as many online movies as they like. At launch there is 2,000 movie titles available to stream and they should all work fine on a 2Mbps or more broadband connection.

Channel 4 has announced that it has decided to jump into the movie-streaming game with its latest venture Film4oD. 
The site is boasting over 500 movies and it is pricing its premium tiles at £3.99 a pop. 
<a href="http://www.film4.com/features/article/film4od">Film4oD does note</a> that you can watch the movie you rent as many times as you want in the 48hr allotted time. 
There are also a few special offers, which bring the price down to as little as 99p. 
Film focus 
There are a number of titles available and there's also a smattering of Film4 funded movies, like Nowhere Boy, on the site. 
Film4 is claiming streamed movies will start in seconds once purchased, but you are unfortunately tied to watching them on a laptop or desktop for the time being. 
Lovefilm has managed to get round this by offering its services through <a href="http://www.techradar.com/news/television/lovefilm-bbc-iplayer-samsung-tv-apps-get-uk-release-672429">TV apps</a> and it will soon be <a href="http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/official-lovefilm-comes-to-the-ps3-900621">appearing on the PS3</a>. 
The new service is a tie-up with FilmFlex, which is owned by Sony and Disney, and is also what Virgin Media uses to bring its on-demand movie content.
