Netflix Eyes First EU Launch

Fret not my UK and Ireland friends. You too will have this awesome service soon.

To be fair, the only indication we have is sometime ‘early next year’…which could mean anywhere from first quarter to mid way through second. However, it has been confirmed that the first two countries to get a chance to take a shit on LoveFilm will be the United Kingdom and Ireland, but I said that already.

From Netflix about how you’ll be able to interact with the service (which funny enough is no different than here in the US):

“[you’ll be able to access it] via a range of consumer electronics devices capable of streaming from Netflix, as well as on PCs, Macs and mobile tablets and phones.”

This pretty much means that you’ll get the standard service through PC, mobile, tablet, and all the gaming consoles I bet.

With all of the problems they’ve faced in America over the price hike and the Quikster bullshit, they need all the positive press they can get.

I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for. It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are. I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own. It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
