[Q] Google Play Movies & TV in UK on Nexus 7

---

Hi Guys

I'm new to XDA but have been a long time visitor, I have pre ordered a 16gb Nexus 7 and cant wait but I had a Question

As stated at I/O the Nexus 7 comes with several extras such as $25 credit (£15 in my case) and a copy of Transformers the Movie, so i was wondering if we are to receive the copy of the movie, what are the chances of Google activating Movies & TV and purchases in the UK?

I know i can download movies using alternative methods but it would be great if it was possible to use Google Play Movies & TV

Thanks

The UK can access movies through the play store already, just not TV shows

Thanks i can see that but i would like to know about purchases as we can only rent as of now in the UK

Oh, i see. Sorry

i wouldn't expect anything anytime soon, especially seeing how we haven't even got google music in the uk yet.

for whatever reason media companies seem reluctant to allow decent movie/tv over the internet. all the offerings from lovefilm, netflix, film4 and the like are pretty disappointing.

couldnt agree more about the lack of decent tv/movies

I have got google music on my htc one s.... although i cant download music i have managed to add my own collection to it

i don't understand the attitude of the film companies. it's almost impossible to get decent content online, and then they wonder why people download stuff illegally.

mate of mine wanted to watch a film, but there's no rental store near him and he didn't want to wait 2-3 days to get a postal rental. so he got it off torrent and the film studios lost a few quid. their loss not his.

at least we've got spotify in the uk for music - and if you can afford a cheap NAS it's a great way to get at your music on the go.
