YouTube Rentals Heading North to Canada

Canadians will not only have movies, but the new service includes features common to most modern DVDs such as behind the scenes videos, cast interviews and blooper reels (my favorite). YouTube will also offer parodies and remixes, a longtime popular offering at the video portal.

YouTube headed north his wee k, planting its webbed roots in Canada for instant access to full-length feature films and a selection of Canadian content. New releases will also be available for $4.99, while older films for $3.99 as well as several titles available at no cost. Do I sense Canadian-French independent films for free, eh?

Rental periods will range from 24 to 48 hours, based on how recently your chosen film was released. The rental countdown starts once the user hits play not at the moment of purchase.
