(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, July 06, 2012 ) London, United Kingdom -- Today heralds the launch of a new website, designed to provide an independent comparison of the world’s two largest movie streaming companies; Lovefilm and Netflix.
The site, www.whichmovieservice.com, covers comparative features such as cost, quality, and product breadth and depth, culminating in the pros and cons of both providers.
As well as recently introduced HD streaming in the UK and Germany, the Lovefilm deal with Universalhas deliveredan even wider range of content for its viewers. This deal comes just a few months after its announced collaboration with Disney UK to provide its members on-demand streaming access to ABC Studios’ content, including Grey’s Anatomy and Castle.
Simultaneously, Netflix, which has over 25 million viewers across the US, Canada, Latin America, the UK and more recently Ireland, is the world’s leading internet subscription for movies and TV programmes. Its recent partnerships include a contract with BBC Worldwide, for the streaming of contemporary content such as Little Britain and Doctor Who, and a Latin American contract with Twentieth Century Fox to provide a huge range of classic movies as well as popular shows such as Glee and Arrested Development.
“It’s amazing to watch these strategies and counterstrategies unfold,” said site Founder Jonathan Lew. “We want to provide a website with real experiences, real comparisons and real opinions, as the battle to be top movie service provider continues.”
The site, which details what content can be viewed on which devices, features a comprehensive Lovefilm review section and also a Netflix review section.It also contains information about pricing, contractual obligations and the range of content.
“It’s not just about online TV and film streaming, our viewers also need to know about DVD or games rentals, which Lovefilm currently does in the UK,” continued Lew. “Streaming is a popular access method for many of us, but it’s important that readers are aware of the fact, for example, that whilst Netflix’s HD streaming is surprisingly good, Lovefilm delivers Blu-ray films to your home, for enhanced viewing, HD sound and extra features.”
The site also reviews the range and exclusivity of films, which can sometimes be available six months prior to DVD release, in the case of Lovefilm and Senna for example, but due to licensing laws with Netflix, can result in omissions or delays in availability even after general release.
“It’s important that viewers are given all of the facts when deciding who to opt for in the Netflix vs. Lovefilmbattle,” concluded Lew.
