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.

KatsumiTFM Is Lovefilm better than Netflix?
Many people prefer Netflix over Love Film
Yeah, right now, Netflix is the number one place for watching movies on the 360/PC. I don't see it changing soon.

M60KatsumilelKatsumiBDB I didn't even know what it was untill now.
Not many people outside of the UK know what it is.. I myself didn't know until i read this article
I just found out as well
Maybe it will get be brought into other countries one day. I doubt it though seeming that Netflix is currently dominating
Redbox and Netflix are very popular now. Hopefully this will be brought to the US
I wouldn't mind to try it out. I likely wouldn't use it in the long term though due to them discontinuing game rentals
