Facebook's rental service has expanded to include five Warner Bros movies, including Inception and the first two Harry Potter movies, pcworld.com reported today.
The rental service involves a streaming application that requires access to a user's basic information. Once the user gives permission for this access and pays about 20 Facebook credits, the user can rent a movie for 48 hours and watch it as many times as they like.
Warner Bros. announced that 'The Dark Knight' would be available a few weeks ago and now five more movies have been added: Inception, the first two Harry Potter movies, Yogi Bear and Life As We Know It.
The movies will be available next Monday and should cost between 30-40 Facebook credits, PC World said, or around $3 - $4.
Unfortunately for Kiwis with a hankering for Facebook viewing, movies are available for streaming in the US only.
