The popular streaming service Netflix will be arriving in Spain and the UK in the first quarter of next year, according to Variety.
“Sources at a few leading European film distributors say Netflix execs informed them of plans to reach those countries in the first quarter of next year,” said the report. “Netflix, which declined to comment, didn’t include the continent in the list of 43 countries it disclosed earlier this month would be getting the service.”
In North America, Netflix is the video streaming service used by Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii. In the UK, there’s only one such streaming service, currently offered through SkyPlayer on the 360.
It was revealed last week that Microsoft itself is looking for a slice of that pie, with news that it’s planning to give the Xbox 360 Zune marketplace a subscription revamp, competing directly with Netflix.
Analysts have been surprised it’s taken so long for the service to arrive in Europe – particularly the UK – but predict this might be due to tougher competition from the likes of Amazon-owned LoveFilm.
