YouTube Movies Doubles Content

"Additional details have been posted on the YouTube Blog and are also after the break -- NBC Universal, Sony Pictures and Warner Bros. are the new studios YouTube is partnering with to add the 3,000 new and catalog releases, doubling the amount previously available. The pricing is $2.99/$3.99 for movies viewable via PC or Google TV (no other device support is mentioned) and the FAQ notes that YouTube supports resolutions up to 4K but "most" of the new additions are sadly in SD, a choice which is apparently up to its partners."
Movie lovers, at least in the US, have an expanded source of online content to access. The additional content comes from the likes of NBC Universal, Sony Pictures, and Warner Bros and is posted on the YouTube Movies page. Engadget is reporting that one potential downside is that you cannot seem to determine if you are renting a HD or lower resolution version of the movie.
