Well, I noticed this on the Droid Charge when I rooted it, and that is the fact that when you have it rooted, you can't use Videos by Google to rent any movies. Does anyone know what the problem could be here or if there is a fix for it? I haven't rooted my Nexus yet because of this simple fact.

I would assume its still true(haven't checked). There's an app in the market called temp root remover that will let you get around it though(disclaimer: haven't tried on gnex, no guarantees).

Edit: just checked, its no longer in the market. I still have a copy so pm me if you want it(its a free app, I'm not sharing paid apps here)
