Netflix has said today it will expand its streaming catalog to the UK and Ireland starting next year.
The move will put Netflix in direct competition with Amazon's LoveFilm, which has literally been called "the Netflix of the UK" for some time now.
There was no word on the pricing, but the service costs $7.99 per month in the U.S.
Netflix is not likely to introduce their DVD-by-mail service in the new nations.
The Watch Instantly streaming library now has 21,000 titles. The full catalog is available to U.S. users and Canadian users have a smaller catalog. The company is expanding, this year, into Latin America and the Caribbean.
