Now you can rent movies through Facebook, kicks off with The Dark Knight



I don’ t know what you’ll find more interesting in this news, but Facebook has started rolling out movie rental via Facebook.com or the fact that the guinea pig for this experiment is again Warner Bros.’ The Dark Knight. In case you forgot, The Dark Knight was recently turned into an iPad and iPhone app with special features here and there plus the right to rent the movie for a specific time. It was an experimental movie distribution strategy, similar to what Facebook and Warner Bros. are doing right now.

So, with the Facebook movie rental, you can now spend your Facebook credits. Yes, the ones you use for in-app purchases on Facebook games. Under the rental gig, you’ll have 48 hours to watch the movie over and over again, on Facebook.com. The Dark Knight can be rented for $3 which is quite cheap. Although, don’t count to much on getting the movie in HD format because it will most likely not be the case especially if you consider the cheap rental price.

Still, if you’re a big fan of the movie, and you want to watch it again, this time in the comforts of your computer’s screen - as it streams online, check out Facebook’s movie rental page then. And please tell us about your experience in case you rent the movie.
