Lovefilm's movie streaming service will go live on the Sony PS3 today.

The service will get its own place in the PS3's XMB menu, suggesting that a local firmware upgrade - 3.5.1? - is in the offing.

Streamed movies are free to punters who've signed up for Lovefilm's unlimited DVD subscription packages priced at £6 or up. ®
