Their films are available for rent and purchase, in standard as well as high definition, with a relevant indication of the presence or absence of Greek subtitles.google play movies

Every movie on Google Play comes with about the quality in which it is available and can be viewed in normal resolution on the WWW. Purchases from Google Play are made with the so-called Google Wallet (i.e. with on a credit/debit card). No other payment options are available in Greece, such as with Google Play gift cards or via .

The experience starts with downloading the Google Play Movies & TV app. This application is available for with Android but also iOS with software version Android 2.2 or iOS 6.0 and later versions respectively. At least for now though, movies purchased on Google Play can't be saved to your computer or iOS device. Viewing movies on the TV can be done when the smartphone or tablet can be connected via HDMI or with the chromecast, which is not yet available on .

Movies are grouped into categories according to their genre, in Top and New Releases. Also, the user can see movie listings based on the actor, the director or the free search.

You should also be aware that:

  • The tape is stored in the internal storage area of ​​the device and can not be moved to an SD card or other external storage.
  • But you can save a movie you've purchased on up to five devices at a time.
  • To watch, you must be signed in to the Google Account you used to order the movie. You can not transfer movies or TV shows between accounts.
  • TV shows are not available in Greece.

In terms of rental, there is no limitation on the number of views during the period defined during the rental. However, you will often encounter the requirement to start viewing within 30 days of the rental date and complete within 48 hours of the start of the view.

Note that you can cancel rent - and make a refund - if you have not tracked it within 7 business days. In addition, you retain the right to request a refund for another reason through the Google Play Help Center, but if this is submitted after 7 business days then Google reserves the right to reject it at its discretion.

For a movie to appear from Google Play, you must be connected to the Internet and signed into your Google Account. You should also make sure that you authorize your device to play movies from Google Play while you are connected to the Internet so you can view the movie without Internet access in the future. You can set five devices to view offline movies and "play" with authorizations by removing the viewing privilege from one to give it to another, though here there are limitations-headaches: you can only authorize the same device three times in any 12 month period and remove the authorization of the same device twice in any 12 month period, remove the authorization of a total of 2 devices for offline playback every 90 days. Finally, you can not authorize more than 3 Google Accounts on the same device.

You can not see the same movie on more than one device (whether on an internet connection or an authorized offline device). This does not mean that you can not view different movies you have purchased, but there is a limitation on their number and there are three "content feeds".

The first scathing comments about the service concern the prices of the movies. For example, the movie "300: Rise of an Empire" is available to rent for €4,99 in HD, and €3,99 in SD, and to buy for €16,99 (HD), or €13,99 (SD). A quick inspection shows that the lowest rental fee is 2,99 euros. And there are movies, which are not available for rent, but only for purchase. Finally, there is no option to view movies with a monthly subscription.

Each film is accompanied by a rating (%), according to the judgment of the online service rotten tomatoes.
