iTunes Movies Come To Canada

canadianmoviessbm642008.jpg Looks like American and UK iTunes users won’t be the only ones who have access to purchase or rent movies from iTunes, Canadians have also joined the bunch. The Canadian iTunes store now have over 1,200 movies to buy, 200 of which you can purchase.

With a 48 hour viewing window available for people who choose to rent it leads us to believe that the US window might increase as well.

I just started my first movie rental download, Cloverfield. Weighing in at just under a gig it might take a little while before I can actually watch it.

For those of you Canadians who are interested. the pricing is as follows…

  • CAN$9.99 to purchase catalog titles
  • CAN$14.99 to get recently released movies
  • CAN$19.99 to purchase new movies
  • CAN$3.99 for renting a library title (a dollar more for HD)
  • CAN$4.99 for new release rental (a dollar more for HD)
