Netflix Launches in Canada
 

Just launched yesterday. $8/mo..streaming older movies and tv shows. I was surprise to see it under $15/mo considering it's $9/mo in the USA. Doesn't seem to have any details on HD contents in Canada. Many Canadians are concerns about their ISP plan and bandwidth caps when streaming unlimited HD content.

What are your thoughts?I think the selection sucks but this may become popular in the near future..I'm one of those that don't care too much about sports or news.

I stream all my movies/tv shows (old and new) from icefilms. They release dvd hd quality screeners for movies while they are still in theaters sometimes too :P
The feeds/sources are usually reliable since theres more than 1 person uploading

Coincidentally, Blockbuster filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy :D

They dont mail movies, that's why its cheaper.

I purchased it yeserday and am using my ps3. They have a download on the ps3 so it streams directly. To be honest the new quality of films is not great. But it is AMAZING when it comes to foriegn films, docuementaries and classic films. It has a great selection of award winning films and for 8 bucks its embarresing not to find 2 films a month which would make it worth while because the number of films they have is amazing.

people are gettin lazy... they can get off their ass and go to the video store to rent it...

Then you have to go back to return it and the store might not have what you want. Renting from blockbuster also costs more.

^Isn't one rental along the lines of $6 now?

The safeway machines aren't that bad, $2 to rent a movie for 1 night and they have almost all new releases.

Thats only blockbuster USA. Canadian blockbusters will be unaffected as they actually make a profit

2 rentals cost more then a month of netflix.

Selection sucks. Will definitely subscribe if they can at least match the US content. I mean, christ, their newest movie is Good Luck Chuck (at least from what I can see on their site's recently added category).

Does it include blu-ray?

Are you getting any lag? I know there's a free month trial but i'll wait to sign up when the selection gets a bit better. Are there any HD contents? How's that?

where do you get netflix? Just the for the ps3 for now?

Netflix.ca

Works for ps3, xbox, and wii

ipod, pad, itouch, your PC, ps3 and wii.

those WD media player, xbox and most BD player will get support 'soon'

hmm also another reason to buy an apple tv.

I'm one of those few that still goes to the Video Rental store like once or twice a month....
The video rental place is just a 5min drive and there's nothing that beats poping that DVD into the machine and having guarenteed quality without worring about lag or DC. And of course picking up snacks and drinks at the same time too.....:)

My scale for how I wanna watch any movie:

Stupid/Dumb Movies = Stream at home
OK Movies without much production = Wait for Rental
Great Movies = Watch at the theaters

man later someones gona make a machine that will bath you, change you and feed you....

and you wonder why canada is in the top5 country of people getting fat! lol
USA is second.. nice...

I wish I could fail you a million times over
http://www.forbes.com/2007/02/07/wor...orldfat_2.html we are #35 and the USA is #9 this was in 2007

2009 http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/c...test-countries neither the USA or canada is in top 5

Or just buy a Blu-ray player.

not much selection on netflix.

heard about it when it was announced and i made an account

they have HD films on there but doesnt seem to be much in the way of selection at this point

i watched "cool world" totally did not remember/know brad pitt was in it


I don't see how the Playstation rental store can compete since Netflix is also available through the PS3 (and PS3 rents their films out by the movie)


i enjoy going to blockbuster/rogers to pick my movies though instead of just downloading them

I use PPStream. For those that don't know what PPStream is:

I have the urge to watch the Jetsons now for some reason;) :rofl:

QVOD!
