Google to Roll Out Pay-Per-View Movies on YouTube

Recently, Google launched a free movie channel service that comes with a catalogue offering 400 movies on YouTube. Now the company is set to offer blockbuster Hollywood movies that will be available with pay-per-view subscription service. It turned out that YouTube is negotiating with a few leading Hollywood studios.


It looks like YouTube has almost the same plans that were introduced by Hulu Plus Ad service for streaming TV shows. As a matter of fact, users will be provided with an opportunity to stream full movies that can be available free from Google ads or with them. The new service will be available in the U.S. and it is expected it will come to the rest of the world.

It will be possible to stream new movies on YouTube in case they are released on DVD also they will be available by means of Amazon plus Apple’s iTunes service.

It is known that Google tries keeping pace of other services when it comes to the distribution of multimedia. It seems like Google is going to make distribution of games as well as games big. Nowadays YouTube is renting out some independent movie titles. So in case it is possible to stream HD movies via YouTube, users will win this situation. But still we have to wait for an official confirmation from Google.
