PS3 getting MUBI movie streaming service in Europe

by David Hinkle on May 18th 2010 11:00AM

If you've been interested in Netflix on the PS3 but live in Europe, you'll soon have access to a similar service: MUBI. It's a movie streaming service that focuses on art house, independent and critically acclaimed fare with integrated social networking features -- "we emphasize quality over quantity," wrote CEO and founder Efe Cakarel on the PlayStation Blog.

Cakarel promises more than just films, revealing MUBI as a future destination for "exclusive online premieres, collaborations with international film festivals, and retrospectives of some of the best cinema the world has ever seen." The service will initially be available in the UK, Ireland, France, Italy, Iberia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Benelux, Nordic countries, Australia and New Zealand and with two different payment options: per-title, weekly rentals or an annual subscription fee.

For a brief video highlighting some of the service's films, head past the break.

i was just watching hellboy 2, and i forgot how much i love Guillermo del Toro's art direction.

I agree. I liked that movie mostly because of the character designs. Amazing stuff.

I almost forgot how much I love Stella Artois.

Can't wait!... if the price is right, that is!

Yes neither can I and I am not a total movie buff and I usually have sites to watch it online for free but if the subscription is reasonable I will go for this £3 a film is a bit much for the amount of films I would like to see just by checking out the site but a good subscription would get me

That and the picture quality available. I'd be hard pressed renting anything below 720p when I can rent blu-ray movies just down the street.

OMG that thing is crazy freaky

Seriously, I wake up and this is what I see early on my screen?!

sad thing is after seeing that thing you can't get back to sleep. >

oh by the way dont take its food

I do so love Pan's Labyrinth.

Definitely one of the best movies of last decade.

damn Pan's Labyrinth is good as hell, but THAT thing is the reason I haven't watched it again for YEARS

I need to go back and watch it. I only got to the part where the guy got his face beat in with a bat at the beginning and then I had to run to the store but never went back to watch it. I was trying out netflix streaming at the time so maybe i will watch it at lunch today here at work.

yay for supporting an alternative to Hollywood!

whats that for?

I'm confused... what are you facepalming about?

Think carefully before you answer

its sad that monster cant facepalm because then he cant see :(

pans labyrinth

oh man comment fail that was supposed to be a heart....wait a minute? comment system having a comment fail! *head splodes*

BOBBY KOTICK'S TRUE FORM!

I don't know, he comes across as being pretty darn sinister as he is...

No, this is the true form of Bobby:

The cow is just anything that sells.

Mooby's!

I find this facepalm improperly used.

Damn you Europe. You're going to leave us poor Canadian's in the dust?
I'm starting to wonder if we're every going to get any sort of streaming service available here. The zombie apocalypse is just a few years away, and I'd like to stream some movies detailing this subject to better prepare myself. Make it happen CRTC!

I learned to stop complaining about the lack of ANY decent video service in Canada a long time ago. The CRTC just kills anything that is fun or innovative, and if you complain or cause a problem, they will send a team of hobos to incinerate you in your sleep....

Happier now monsieur?

Mmm, Stella Artois. Yum.

uhhhh no....this allows for FREE streaming of numerous movies.....Zune isn't free.....it would be more accurate to compare Zune Marketplace to the PSN Video Store....

Chris I dont think it is free, on the site it varies between £1 and £3 a film and a think a subscription way aswell

Considering it's Ben Linus he probably did it to disorient us while he and his crew run around in their Dharma stations devising new ways to..... ahh, screw it. Lost is confusing enough without tying Joystiq to it.

What's up with so many comments here sounding out of context or random? It's like the comment they were replying to got deleted so now they sound weird....

Ben Linus posted a Picard ASCII facepalm that was completely out of context so we were badgering him for it.

I think that comment is now...

Get it? Cause of the humor.

Man I just love living in Canada.
Thank you Sony for your effort!

Canada? Is that in Russia?

@Archon:

Close enough.

That actually sounds pretty cool. It'll never come to America, though 'cuz us dumb 'MERICANS doesnt wants good moviez.

Man, even though "The Auteurs" was a pretentious sounding name, it was way better than Mubi.

I don't like that movie much. One of the reviewers said "It was on the same altar of high-fantasy as LoTR" or something to that effect. I would say, no where near. The DVD I used to watch it in was in Spanish, with no English dub(yes I checked set up). I thought to myself if you're going to release a movie in America it should be in English.

So you didn't like a movie because you couldn't be bothered to turn the subtitles on? It's a Spanish movie, so yes it's in Spanish. This isn't an anime, dubbing it would ruin it.

That picture made me stop scrolling.

Well played Joystiq, well played.

I can't say I enjoyed Pan's Labyrinth all that much, However with the likes of Downfall, The Wrestler, Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (going off trailer) and plenty of Kubrick classics (Trailer and Image from Announcement page) I am quietly optimistic about this service.

Actually the English subtitles were on by default. I know a little Spanish(I'm Hispanic), and I learned a few words that I didn't know before. But, I don't think it was that great. I don't care if they don't do lip syncing properly anyway.
