Apple Launches iTunes Movies in Canada

I've seen that the folks in the UK have been posting about this, but it looks like Canada Itunes now has movie rentals as well!!!!!!

FINALLY! Funny some friends and I were just talking about the lack of movies in the ITMS today...

15 to buy...rip off!

Expansion of services before next week. Looks good to me.

Engadget is reporting the UK launch...

Before this, there were very few reasons to buy Apple TV in Canada/UK. The variety isn't as good as I'd like, but it's still decent. The price to buy some movies is steep though.

Hilarious timing. I ordered an :apple:TV on launch day because I was anxious for movies. That unit went largely unused until this month. After the "Take Two" firmware update, I had a little more hope that movies would show up in Canada, and I could make use of my :apple:TV. 3 weeks ago, however, it must've had enough idle running, because I couldn't get any audio out of it at all, anymore. No Optical, no analog, and I couldn't test HDMI. I restored a few times, but had no audio on each attempt. I finally gave up, installs os x on the machine, and started using it as a print server/web server for basic things in my apartment.

Now, 3 weeks after it died, Apple has released what will finally make it useful. I wish I could say i'll buy another one to make use of it, but I likely won't.

Excellent. Any easy way to tell which title is HD and which isn't? Thanks.

Edit: Is any of the content HD?

Now I don't have to watch movies on Rogers On Demand. My TV is old anyway. :)

Cheers! :apple:

"...once a movie has been started customers have 48 hours to finish it—or watch it multiple times."

I know when they first launched movies in the US, you had only 24 hours to finish it. Did they change this for the US market as well?

Finally a good reason to grab an TV in Kanadia.

Next thing you know they'll give it to the UK!

Oh...

Next thing you know they'll give Canadians the iPhone!

Australia will just sit down here and grow old waiting for parity from our rock solid allies in the Iraq incident...
