Well it feels like Netflix’s rumored UK launch was a load more than simply a rumor. Today, the corporate announced that it’ll indeed expand to the united kingdom and Ireland “in early 2012,” promising to supply unlimited streaming on PCs, tablets and mobile devices at a “low monthly subscription price.” The corporate didn’t say what that price will be, nor did it offer any details on available content or supported devices, though more details would be announced toward its launch. We’re also expecting to listen to more from Netflix during its Q3 earnings conference call later today, once we should know about the impact of its recent price hike and Qwikster turnaround. Even if its foray into the united kingdom can loosen Lovefilm ‘s grip at the domestic market, however, is still seen. Full PR after the break.
