Netflix is coming to the UK, later this year. http://www.imdb.com/news/ni1485357/
Thats fantastic news..
Is there any idea when?
and yeah hows the streaming and is there a large collection of films? new releases, classics?
and do they get released first after they've been released from cinema?
That's an old rumour from back in January. The only confirmed expansion for Netflix is for Canada later in the autumn.
It's not a rumour if the CEO confirmed it
in that news story he also said "We are focused on entering one country and seeing how we do. Because we are launching in the second half of the year, I don't think we could do a second country this year."
Does this look like Netflix UK to you?

Umm.. Since when does Canada have "The Royal Mail"
They just might have changed their minds and decided to launch in Canada instead.
I hope the story is right and it does come here soon but we are already well into the second half of 2010 and there has been no fresh news since January so it's not looking very promising for a launch this year.

That's like saying Apple will update the MBP's in Q1 2011, but we don't know when, they still haven't announced anything.
I'll give you kudos if Netflix isn't here by December 31st ^^
Anyone in the UK managed to get a subscription working?
I would like to know this aswell.
If anyone did they'd most likely need a US Address, US CC/DC and US IP/VPN. It seems like an awful lot of trouble just to get a couple of films streamedAnyone in the UK managed to get a subscription working?
You can get it working it you have a US mailing address to setup an account (or friend gives you his Netflix account login) and use a US based proxy server. Those in the US military do this when on US bases even though the IP shows as from another country.Give up.. If they see bandwidth going outside the country the account and probably your IP will be blacklisted..
Well I definitely hope so as it will be the best service in the UK if it does come..
but I expect it will be overpriced any know a monthly price range?
