Yes, after months of waiting and at least a dozen posts kvetching that they were taking their time, movies have come to the Canadian iTunes store!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!
A few specifics.
Buying a catalog title? $9.99
Buying a recent release? $14.99
Buying a new movie? $19.99
Renting a library title? $3.99
Renting a library title in HD? $4.99
Renting a new release? $4.99
Renting a new release in HD? $5.99
1200 titles to buy, 200 to rent. Or at least, those are the numbers. Sorting by "All Rentals" gets to a page with over 700 titles listed, but not all of them can be rented...yet. Sorting by all movies goes to a page with just over 1100 movies listed. Some of which may be HD, but I haven't seen any yet.
The Canadian Store is not a mirror of the US store. The first thing that I notice that's different is that the movie 300 is available in Canada, and is *NOT* available in the states.
And who said Apple didn't like Canadians....
Heck, Canadians have 48 hours to watch a movie, as opposed to 24 hours those Damn Yankees have. See, I knew Steve would make it up to us. Here's the official press release.
In other news, the selection at the Canadian iTunes TV store still sucks.
