    Play Movies has just appeared on my phone. Oddly, apart from a free Shaun the Sheep short there's nothing listed under any of the categories yet.

    Edit: Actually the store appears to be slowly filling with titles.

    It's showing on my Nexus 5 as well. First time I went into movies category the play store force closed but when I reopened it, it asked me to accept a new user agreement or whatever they're called. Looks like we've finally got movies here.

    Makes sense seeing as the Chromecast is officially available here now.

    Finally, we are no longer a 3rd world country :)

    Edit; doesn't seem to have Chromecast support!

    Thought I noticed it earlier tonight, but Play kept crashing when I tried to click on it. Working like a charm now :D

    Have a UK account on my devices and it looks like we are just missing Newsstand now from the Irish accounts.
    Good to get the Movies though so that's a start.

    Irish account, yes! I've had it for many months, maybe before the new year.
    I'm talking about an app called play newsstand, that replaced google currents.

    Are we talking about the same thing? :)

    I got it as well as I rebuilt my phone. Thought I'd broken the damn thing.

    Play Movies doesn't allow for rentals, just purchases, right?

    Completely forgot about the Newstand app.

    I thought you meant Newstand content in the Play Store.

    Yes, I thought you might have been talking about that alright, sorry if I was misleading!

    You mean the ability to buy magazine subscriptions and the like?

    It's a mixture. Some things you can rent or buy, others you can only buy. There also seems to be some you can buy in either SD or HD.

    It'd be so awesome if they offered a subscription akin to play music.
