YouTube has now launched its movie rental service in the UK, the third such region to gain access.
Earlier this year, Google introduced the rentals to Canadian and U.S. users.
For now, there are 1000 different titles including indies and big-ticket films.
Rentals will be somewhat expensive, however, costing £2.49 (USD $3.87) to £3.49 (USD $5.42) for a 48 hour window.
The movies are synced with your YouTube account so you can access it anywhere with Internet during that two day period.
Furthermore, Google says you can access the movie through Google TV devices, Honeycomb tablets and "some" Android phones.
