MSN Video Player signs Paramount deal to offer movies for free

Microsoft has announced it has signed a deal with Paramount Pictures to bring full-length movies to its MSN Video Player.

The deal will see a wide range of popular movies and clips available on the video-on-demand service, and is the first deal of its kind to be made outside the US.

The MSN Video Player came out of beta last month with over 1000 hours of TV shows, movie trailers and music videos available for free. And the good news is, Microsoft has told us the movies will be free too.

There’s no sign of them on the site at the moment, so we’re just waiting to hear back from those in the know as to when we’ll be able to watch them. We’ll be keeping you updated as we hear more.

In the meantime why not check out MSN Video Player and let us know what you think to it below.
