YouTube May Offer Movie Rentals
YouTube is looking to strike a deal with the movie studios to make new-release movies available online.
Inneresting.
According to those familiar with the plan, talks are already underway with Lionsgate, Sony, Warner Bros. and MGM, who already have ad deals with the company.
The idea would be similar to iTunes
, where you can view a rental for 24 hours for around $1.99-$3.99.
It sounds like a good idea, but how many people would actually make the transition from iTunes to the video streaming giant?
There's gotta be a competitive element somewhere, right?
Would U watch movie rentals on YouTube???

This comes from Perez Hilton's blog... It would be very interesting if YouTube does strike a deal with the major movies. Although, the idea of YouTube is user generated content so adding major motion pictures there might dilute the user generated stuff...
Thoughts?
