I hope it is actually worthwhile. If it costs and arm and a leg in comparison to the US pricing, I won't jump.

I don't see them pricing it *that* much more than the US version. The US version is $8.99 a month. If it's more then $15, I dunno how many people are gonna be snapping it up.

I could always see them launching with special promotional pricing too. TiVo had a free Wifi adapter when it launched in Canada, etc...

The big concern for me is the content ... I'm sure we'll have a much much smaller selection than our US neighbours do... or pay a lot more for it ... or something. Just doesn't seem like it can work out as expected and be just like the US version, it rarely does for us canucks LOL.

If the movie selection is there, I'm definitely thinking Apple TV time.
