iTunes movies come to Canada as well

not happy you charged my credit card before my free trial time was up.

iTunes on windows is working...

at home, on my Mac; iTunes/movies = browse window (does not work at all)
at the office, on a cheap PeeCee; iTunes/movies = working properly

what's wrong?

Why does it say that it will expire in 48 hours, but in the movie rental screen it says it will expire in one day?

It appears at first glance that I can't move the rented movie to my AppleTV. It syncs fine to my iPhone, Touch and other computers, but it won't allow me to move it to my AppleTV 2.0 in Canada :-( I hope I'm just overlooking something.

The last comment is exactly right... I can buy new releases from Blockbuster for $20 the day they come out, and I'll continue to do so for movies I want to own.

CN$20 for a new release and CN$15 for a recently released?? Why are the prices the same as buying a physical copy from the store when distribution costs are minimal, there's no expense for stocking and inventory, and no manufacturing costs? sorry if this gripe is a repeat

Meant to add that Apple should win an environmental 'Good Guys' award from those asshats at Greenpeace for actually DOING something to save gas, packaging, plastic, etc.etc.

Wont happen because the 'war on environment' is yet another red herring bs nonsensical pile o' crap invented by crazy people to make more cash, along with the other notably successful campaigns such as:

'war on terror' - hasnt been able to detect the real terrorists so far...(the USA and the UK governments)

'war on drugs' - managed to increase drug use exponentially - well done guys.

'war on poverty' - made a lot of rich bastards richer, and a lot of poor people poorer.

'war on reality' - oops, I think that one is working.....

There are 741 movies for rent on the Canada iTunes store, not 200.

The prices dont reflect the reality of the situation at all.

Once the copies of the movies are loaded to the servers, then the ONLY cost is bandwidth, which Apple pays and the user pays through his ISP.

The greedy bastards at the studios dont have to make any labels, any DVD's, anything at all!
They just sit back and get the same cash as if they were actually doing something.

Most people have realised that rentals are only really worth it if you can copy the movie and watch it later for free - so as a value proposition in the real world, Apple must rely on the convenience of not having to drive to the video store, etc.

Which is OK, and I expect them to do a lot of business because it saves time and gas.
Why cant the insane studios (same as the music business morons) see that by dropping the price to say $2 for a rental, they would do a LOT more business?

Some may say that copying rented videos is a bad thing, against the law, etc. - but when the people decide that something is a 'normal' activity and is do-able with the technology (computer, dvd player) that they have purchased with their cash, then the law becomes foolish and unworkable very quickly, as it has with music MP3 files.

On some of the older films, the cast and crew are either over 80 or dead, yet still the studios make cash.
IMHO, films movies and books should be in the public domain after 25 years.

They are anyway, because so many copies are out there, and someone will let you watch their copy for free or give it to you or make you a copy.
Those people are called 'friends and families' - perhaps the studios would like me to bill my Dad for a movie I gave him, and send the cash to them?

iTunes movies is a great service, but its high price means that we will continue to produce environmentally-damaging crap (packaging, disk, etc) to make some fat rich biz guy with a bad haircut and a 1950's suit happy.

Actually they are never happy, they arent smart enough to achieve that state.

I want to know whats up with the $20 for buying a new release. I don't remember the US store having anything like that. I can kind of accept paying a dollar more for movies, but paying $5 more? No way. Thats 30% of the actual price!

"Businesses would not be able to sustain and the whole market and economy would be a mess. Hope this gives you a little insight."

Have a look around, the economy is in a mess. At least it is in the USA side of the equation.
