Earlier this month, Facebook announced a partnership with Warner Bros. that allow members to stream select full-length movies through each movie's official Facebook fan page for just $3. At the time, only one title was made available — The Dark Knight — but now, Warner Bros. is releasing five more titles for your movie-watching pleasure.

Starting at 10 p.m. PST, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Inception, Life as We Know It, and Yogi Bear will be available to rent and stream for 30 Facebook credits ($3). Users will have up to 48 hours to tune in and will still have access to Facebook updates, news feeds, and more while watching. Have any of you streamed The Dark Knight via Facebook?

Netflix Enforcing 28-Day Wait Period For Warner Bros. Movies

You know when you want to watch a new movie on Netflix, and you wait (and wait) for it to arrive?

You know when you want to watch a new movie on Netflix, and you wait (and wait) for it to arrive? Being an in-demand film is one thing, but now the company has struck a deal with Warner Bros that means an even longer period before that red envelope arrives. The two groups have arranged a 28-day lag time between the studio's releases and when they'll be made available to Netflix customers. That means when future hot movies like Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows hit DVD, you'll have to be patient.

This news makes me groan, and I'm concerned that other big-name studios will follow suit. Ultimately, if consumers really want to see a Warner Bros film right away, they'll just go somewhere else (or even buy a copy), so I'm curious to see how it affects Netflix as a company.

What do you make of this news? Will you quit Netflix if you have to deal with set release periods?
