The move is designed to progress YouTube from a service based on users’ clips to one that can take on television on its own terms, to say nothing of online movie rental services.
That means users now have access to 3,000 movies, along with critics’ commentaries and bonus materials, all online. The selection includes classics like Goodfellas and Taxi Driver, as well as recent releases like The King’s Speech and The Green Hornet.
So far, the selection is only available to American residents, who have to pay 3.99 dollars to rent a movie this way. In other countries, users will have to make do with a handful of older, but free movies at www.youtube.com/movies.
