Will Netflix vs Lovefilm drive you to piracy?

The launch of Netflix into the UK last week has no doubt left plenty of Brits agonising over which service to go for: Lovefilm or Netflix? Annoyingly, the ideal answer is both.
What I want from my movie streaming service is everything I might ever feel like watching available for me to watch it whenever I want. What I really don't want is to discover that the one thing I feel like watching is available on the one service I don't subscribe to.
Until last week, this wasn't too much of a problem. Amazon-owned Lovefilm had the subscription streaming market pretty much to itself in the UK – sure, you could rent films from BlinkBox and Apple, but that wasn't quite the same.
Now there are two major services going head to head – a bit of extra competition is a good thing, we thought. And when the Netflix launch saw Lovefilm instantly drop its streaming prices, we thought we were right.
