Fine if you're into watching series, that's alright. But the movie selection is really bad. I mean they don't even have bloody Top Gun on there, or there are hardly any 1930s, 1940s, 1950s movies. Surely they aren't unaffordable.
I'm watching it on my PS3, however. Is that still doable?
I find if you have Sky Go for movies and Netflix for series, you're sorted
unlocator.com, I've been using it for over a year and it's been perfect. There's a 7 day free trial, think it works out at about £3.50 a month if you do subscribe.
Yeah, it's a bit of a pain to switch between the two.
TopGun is on the U.S. version I think.
Yep, subscribe to UnblockUS which is $4.99 per month (about £3.50).
Just register to unblock-us. Its the easiest way. You pay $4.99 per month which is pretty cheap. All you gotta do then is log onto their website (on your PS4 internet browser), select a region and press apply
You don't need to use the console browser to do that, you can do it from your laptop or phone/tablet, so long as you're logged in to the site.
Does using UnblockUS (or similar programs) affect your internet speed? Do you notice it being any slower?
Not that I've noticed, Netflix still streams in HD with no issues.
That's fantastically useful, thank you!
Cool - will give it a go.
Thanks for this. I use Unblockus, so it'll be good to use for that, right?
What do I do with my current subscription to Netflix UK? That's completely unaffected, right? Basically I'm still using Netflix but only tapping into a different region (US), if I'm understanding this correctly?
That's right, you subscribe to UnblockUS (or similar) on top of your existing Netflix subscription.
Wow, this is an eye opener. I just spent 15 minutes randomly searching for some movies, Netflix UK is hardly ever on that drop down list of countries available.

I already use a VPN, so they're not going to get much out of me
Have been using the free trial this week and love it. Only using it on the PS4 so far, so have a browser window open on their website to change the location if needed. Works perfectly - also enables me to use iPlayer etc.
Are you using Unblock-us?
Its not the concept of Netflix (which itself is fantastic), but rather the fact the UK version is absolute maracas compared to other regions.
I remember when America got every release AT LEAST 6 months before us, and then you had to go out and physically rent or buy it, for about the same cost as the entire Neflix monthly fee. We don't get HBO either. Damn selfish Americans.
