Okay, see that link (<---) over there? Good. Click on it! Why? Because it’s about freakin’ time something like this became available in Canada! What does it do? Sends you movies! How? Duh! Through the mail.
Okay, seriously. The company charges CDN$24.95 per month and for that money you get to rent as many DVDs as you would like each month. Also, keep them as long as you would like. No late fees! Never! That’s right, NEVER! The catch? You can only have 3 movies at once. You build up a list of movies and then they send you the first three on your list. When you’re done watching the first one you drop in the POSTAGE PAID return envelope and send it back to them. They then send you the next one on your list. Rent, watch, return, repeat.
How cool is that? The US has had netflix.com for at least a couple years now. Sure, they have netflix.ca registered and there’s some yammering on their website how they plan on extending service into Canada at some point – but not yet. Now, they don’t need to bother.
If you’re a fan of watching movies (like me) and also happen to be a Grade A couch potato who hates having to go out of a nice, comfy house to return a movie (also like me) then this is for you! Okay, granted, you still have to actually go OUT of your house to return the movie (unless you live in a condo/apartment where there is an outgoing mail box in the lobby) but you get my meaning.
Oh yeah, the other cool thing is that they offer a FREE Two Week trial. Sure, you’re not going to get a lot of movies watched in those two weeks but it will give you an idea of the level of service they offer! Note: They do require a credit card to sign up for the two week trial although nothing will be charged to it. (Just to make sure you don’t rip them off for 3 movies)
