Default Blinkbox or Netflix on XBOX360?

Has anyone signed up to either of these?

I see Netflix is offering 1 month free trial, has anyone signed up for it?

There's a big chat about it on Xbox.com uk forums now, people seem to like it, not tried it personally

Seems like you have to sign up using Facebook too. Not keen on that.

Nope - it's an option but you can use an email address (as I did )

Blinkbox doesn't require you to sign up for you to be able to access the free content, use it on the PS3. You only need to sign up if you're planning on buying/renting movies.

As far as I am aware Blinkbox isn't a subscription services, you pay per movie or TV episode plus you get loads of free content.

Netflix is looking good compared to lovefilm but it is a subscription service so completely different to blinkbox. Netflix 1 month trial worth trying, not going to cost you anything.

I've signed up for Netflix, but the selection of films and tv shows is pretty poor to be honest.

Its better if you access the US Library

Signed up through quidco - £15 for doing a free trial is a no-brainer.

Use Laptop, Tablet and Xbox 1 for UK site and Xbox 2 for US
