Apparently, not content with its first place on the streaming video market, Youtube begins the experiment with renting a pay-per-view video, offering full-length movies for as low as $ 1.99.
Under the cut some details and a link to the new service.
This is a typical price for this industry, which was formed during the competition between Netflix, iTunes, Amazon, Sony, and Microsoft, as well as many other companies offering similar services.
A new address on Youtube,
youtube.com/store , was discovered by the staff of PC World, where such paintings as Reservoir Dogs, Precious, and Saw are available for $ 1.99 or $ 3.99 (new)
You can pay for rent using Google Checkout. After the payment is confirmed, the film begins to play, it will be available for viewing within 24 hours.

This is a pretty interesting niche that Youtube wants to squeeze into. The online video site is great for watching short clips and funny private spots, but it's hard to imagine [it's easy for me; approx. trans.] that someone will pay to view videos on Youtube.
Youtube has not officially announced this service yet.
UPD: Either the shop is already closed, or it is FAKE, judging by the comments:

Let's see what will happen next.
