It's a happy day for our neighbors to the North. Netflix has finally announced that its ever popular streaming service is crossing the border later this year. Canadian customers will be able to enjoy Netflix streaming content on their PCs, Macs and "a range of consumer electronics devices capable of streaming." Hopefully this means that consumer devices that play Netflix in the States will be able to play it in Canada.
Netflix is also introducing a new subscription plan for the launch. Canadian customers that just want the streaming and don't feel like dealing with the discs will have the option of a streaming-only subscription plan. Pricing hasn't been announced yet.
There's no support for the French language yet, but the folks at Netflix are working on it. According to the press release, "[the company] expects to add French language capability over time." The service will officially launch this fall. If you're interested in checking it out or signing up to get more information when it launches, you can head on over to www.Netflix.ca.
