Seems so, promoted on the home page

Doesn't seem to be a big selection though - a couple of BBC nature documentaries, a few "family" films (9 to be exact) and the whole series of Lost...

Not on Sony devices yet. No Lovefilm HD and no Netflix on my Sony BDP S370. Maybe time for a change. Also 12mbps needed for 1080p and a 2 hr film will use 10gb data

Would have thought they could have done this on SonyPs3 they say 720p will be on xbox 360, The 1080p will only be on Mac and PC thats a shame because i would have signed up from what ive heard the SD quality is awful.

It was until recently. I noticed the SD picture quality getting better over recent months with some films looking near DVD quality and certainly better than SD quality on Sky.

I'm sure they could do this on PS3, Netflix has always been 1080P on PS3 and looks fantastic (with a decent connection of course). I suspect LoveFilm either have some kind of deal with Microsoft or are still working on the HD player for PS3.

Although in SD the quality isn't the best it is perfectly watchable, no worse than a SD TV channel for example, the issue I had with the player is that it seemed to have trouble responding to commands e.g. rewind / fast forward etc, half the time attempting either caused playback to stick and then I had to load up the movie again from scratch, not great.

Good news. Now if I could just find out why I get constant rebuffering freezes I'd be completely sorted for my streaming needs
