In the chaos amongst the ContentID takedowns we talked about recently, Forums user Twilight unearthed that you can, in fact, buy episodes of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic on Youtube itself. Episodes are available for purchase, at $1.99 per episode for SD or $37.99 per SD season. HD is $2.99 per episode or $49.99 per season. Other Hasbro Studios shows, like Pound Puppies are also available for purchase. The episodes also appear to be region-limited to the US, as our Canadian and other international members were unable to purchase due to the content being blocked in their countries.
The recent addition of MLP: FiM to Google Play probably has something to do with this, as Youtube is owned by Google, and the pricing is similar. What this means to you, the user, remains to be seen, but with official, purchasable options on Youtube, your days of watching HQ episodes on Youtube for free are probably over. ■


YouTube is the transport and container for Google Play Movies, and is how movies and TV shows are handled in web browsers on devices/computers that don’t use Google Play, so yes, they are directly linked, one and the same.
Well,I guess they don’t want to have more fans of the show than they have now then. Very bad move Hasbro, both for you, and for your fans.
because everything should be free
How exactly do you spend money on YouTube?
And yet there still not available to download on PSN…. C’mon Hasbro!

Actually, Dan vs. is not a Hasbro Studios’ production. It is broadcast on The Hub as their original series, but Hasbro was not involved in the production, and Dan’s international sales is handed separately by Starz Media.
Thanks for the correction, it will be noted.
