A Canadian Version Of NetFlix

Postby DJ_Izumi » Thu Jun 24, 2004 10:00 pm

While this ISN'T NetFlix, it's the same basic service and the same deal, but it's for Canadians.

http://www.zip.ca

I'm still reviewing the rules before i sign up for the 2 week trial (I'd be signing up if there wasn't one too) But the jist of it is you pay $24.99cdn a month, you make a list of what anime you want, and they'll send you up to 4 dvds at a time. Like NetFlix you can keep the DVDs as long as you want.

They also seem to have an AWESOME Anime selection. They have a section JUST for anime, with subsections diving anime by genre. The other Canadian DVD rental sites I had just had a smattering of anime in their 'Animation' section. I've found obscure titles too, Gundam 0080, almost all of Patlabor, most of the main streem anime is there even.

I havn't had any experiance with their shipping or delays yet, I'll report on that after I sign up and recive content in the mail. But so far, this looks like the best NetFlix alternative for Canadians.

Yes, it's $24.99 a month. They also have two alternate plans, for $34.99 you can rent 6 DVDs at once, or for a lower $18.99 you can rent just two at a month. Fairly flexable if you ask me.

Well, I've racked up 38 titles in my waiting list, I'm located only 100km from their head office so I imagine I'll be giving my DVD+RW drive a work out by Tuesday. :)
