As if hulu wasn’t bad enough for Netflix’s streaming movie ambitions, Google has announced it plans to make movies available through YouTube for rental. Youtube has a vast amount of regular users, and for some watching movies through their already existing internet connection on a site they already visit often will make sense. However the advantage that Netflix has over a Youtube at this point is integration into living room contact points, such as the XBOX 360, PS3, and soon to be Nintendo Wii. This helps makes access to the digital content easier to consume. The challenge for Youtube and Google will be to get these types of partnerships that allows YouTube to penetrate living rooms like Netflix has already.
