With _Robocop_ currently in rotation on both [Netflix][3] and [HBO Go][4], you're probably wondering, "where else can I get my daily dose of media and cultural criticism delivered by a trigger happy law enforcement cyborg?" Well, YouTube and [Google Play][5] apparently. [MGM][6] has struck a deal with the folks in Mountain View to bring 600 of its titles to the streaming services, including the aforementioned dystopian-Detroit sci-fi classic. Of course, plenty of other top shelf titles will also be available to rent and purchase in the coming weeks -- including _Terminator_, _Rocky_ and _Rain Man_. Unfortunately for those not in the northern portion of the western hemisphere the deal is only applicable to the US and Canada. This also means that, regardless of whatever struggles Google has had in the [content][7] [distribution][8] market, it now has four of the five major studios on board. Though, we wouldn't hold your breath for Fox.
[MGM delivers 600 movies to YouTube and Google Play, gives you one more place to watch Robocop][2] originally appeared on [Engadget][9] on Mon, 16 Apr 2012 16:33:00 EDT. Please see our [terms for use of feeds][10].
