Video Rental Game-Changer Netflix is getting ready to invade Canada. 

Hugely popular in the US, and oft cited as a major reason for Blockbuster's imminent demise, the DVD-by-mail provider ships new releases and a huge library of stock movies and popular TV series direct to your mailbox complete with a prepaid return envelope.  It also offers real-time internet streaming of a large selection of new and older favourites accessible on your computer, Wii system (wireless internet required), or smartphone (via mobile app) for rates so low that one wonders how we ever got roped into paying $5.99 for a one-night rental in the first place.

To start, Netflix will only be offering the instant streaming option in Canada as licensing questions and other legal matters are holding back the mailing program.

Are you excited about this news?  Or is this too paltry an offering... for now?
