Lovefilm discontinues game rentals for new customers
"In order to give the best possible service that we can, we are looking to focus on our strength, which is providing the best selection of film and TV content for our customers, and making it available whenever and wherever you want it," reads a statement on Lovefilm's FAQ page.
Lovefilm is one of the UK's foremost providers of games rentals, so its exit from the ring would leave few premier alternatives for consumers in the country. The news follows what was a torrid first few months of the year for UK games retail. High street outlets HMV and Blockbuster were both forced into buyouts after effectively going bankrupt, hemorrhaging stores and employees as a result.

SorceryKatsumiAggie I was going to say, what the world is Lovefilm? then I read that its only in the UK...
Apparently it's just another Netflix for the UK
Not many people actually use it though, because we have Netflix too.
Makes sense seeming how big Netflix is, how does it match up in quality?

RaheemSterling_31 Lovefilm is pretty poor.
Agreed. I got a good deal that was around 5 or so for 3 months. Probably going to change to LoveFilm though.
