Warner Bros Adds More Titles to Facebook Movie Rental Service

Warner Bros. recently started delivering movies through Facebook at a price of $3 per title, starting out with Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight.

Now, the company made available five additional titles: Inception, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Yogi Bear and Life as We Know It.

These new titles are available through each film’s official Facebook Page. To rent a movie, users need to click on the “watch now” icon, pay with their Facebook Credits, and they will get a 48-hour window to watch the movie through their Facebook account.

There’s no official word on any upcoming titles, but we’re sure that Warner Bros. will be adding this functionality to other movies in its catalog, which have a significant Facebook following. All of this is available only to consumers in the U.S.

    You’re on crack Facebook/Warner Bros. for another $4 on top of that I can watch Netflix or go to Redbox and rent all those movies for 1 day. LOL

    $3 is a little high. Netflix is $7 a month, and Redbox is $1 a night.

    Yes but for a lot of people (children) this might be easier than setting up a Netflix account for some parent, who already has a pre-existing Facebook account. Facebook Userbase > Netlix Userbase

    With that said, there is money to be mad here. People already use Facebook credits for birthday images (or at least they used to) and Farmville tools/crops/animals — why not for a movie that they would want to watch on a whim.

    The only question is when will they GET OUT OF THE BOX?? The one that limits their services to the US only?? We’re on the WWW yet so many contents are limited to america and unavailable to other regions it’s simply annoying.

    I was going to say the same thing…. we have both Redbox and Blockbuster Express at a buck each. Then there’s Netflix, Hulu Free and Hulu Plus. # bucks is too much.

    I would think that there’s a high percentage of Red Boxer’s who pay $3.00 or more, due to not getting it back quickly.

    I thought that this issue had something to do with how the laws and restrictions vary from country to country. I could be wrong, but I knew that that was the case with Netflix streaming services in Canada at one point. I honestly don’t think that they’re purposely trying to screw other countries … maybe. lol :)

    Ok, now add a monthly subscription cost (not a per rental cost) and I *might* consider it. ….or just wait for it to show up ojn Netflix.
