Online movie rental services are everywhere you look online with offerings from Apple, Bigpond, Microsoft, Sony and more…plus now Google.

It’s a natural progression for the company that owns YouTube to now offer an online rental service…but how does it differ from the others?

Well in terms of price it’s about on par with its competitors with new releases prices at 5.99 or 6.99 for high definition rentals with a 48 hour viewing window.

Just like Youtube you can watch your rented movie directly in your computer’s web browser or download for playback later  or on a mobile device using the Google Play app.
