CinemaNow headed to Canada

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 27 Jun 2009 3:22 User comments (1)

The Canadian equivalent of Netflix, Zip.ca has announced today that they are currently in talks with Sonic Solutions to bring the popular online movie download service CinemaNow to Canada.

The deal would allow PC and media device owners to download TV episodes and movies from CinemaNow for playback on their devices.

Zip.ca offers 72,000 physical DVDs via the mail, less than Netflix's 110,000 but still a strong number.

There was no roadmap or timeline provided.
