Google Play Movies available in Singapore, rent from S$3.98 or buy from S$12.98
Movie fans in Singapore now have another source to rent or buy movies on their Android devices - Google Play Movies.
How do you get it? As the name implies, it's accessible on Google's Play store with a prominent Movies tab in red.
Although Google has yet to make it official, consumers with Android devices can browse through movie titles from various categories (action & adventure, animation, comedy, documentary, drama, family, horror, music).
A short browse through the Google Play Movies reveals that renting of movies start from S$3.98 (e.g. Pitch Perfect, Despicable Me and Jurassic Park) while buying of movies start from S$12.98. Obviously, the prices will be higher for newer movie titles such as Fifty Shades of Grey which can be purchased from S$19.98. Some movie titles have HD and SD versions such as Ex-Machina where the HD version costs S$24.98 while the SD version is priced at S$19.98.
The top five selling movie titles are Kingsman: The Secret Service, Get Hard, Fifty Shades of Grey, Ex-Machina and Home. If you notice cheaper movie titles that are worthy of recommendation, please do share these finds in our comments section below!
Although the service is available via Goole Play, oddly enough Google's dedicated "Play Movies & TV" app isn't yet compatible with this region and states that Play Movies isn't yet available in Singapore.
