    Trying out the 30 day trial of Crunchyroll that can be gotten through the PS3 app ( 14 days normally through website), and while there are some US only shows most new shows are there for Ireland.

    While Crunchy roll lets you watch the shows free a week after they broadcast on your PC, the app is only for premium users who among other things get 1080p (only on PC right now but said to be coming) with shows being available an hour after Japan.

    Some of you may have Netflix and there is a thread about the anime section on it but this is all subbed, all new ( except for all the old), and only €5 a month or €9 for anime and drama (personally is would not).

    Crunchyroll has always been subs only, thank ****!

    Haven't tried the app, but don't want to commit to another monthly service. The site sometimes works through the PS3 browser, but it's slow and ads tend to mess it up.

    The app is for paying subscribers only, you have to use the PS3s web browser to then go onto the site if you want to do it for free.

    The app is pretty crummy sadly. I really wanted it to be good because I love the stuff crunchyroll are doing but it's a really flaky app with a lot of hanging and stuttering

    Agreed, CR runs fine on my PC at 720p but cant get 10 consecutive seconds from the PS3 app at the same res.

    Think I got mine from the USA PSN store. Probably not big enough in Europe yet to warrant Sony bothering to put it up here.

    Does it show ads on the PS3 app too? Or is that something only free users have to deal with, because it really sucks.
