Canadian iTunes Music Store Opens

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the moxy-fruvous-and-rush dept.

Trillan writes "After appearing on December 1st, iTunes music store Canada is now officially open. Price is only $0.99 CDN (about $0.83 US) per song, so it's less expensive than the US store. This is probably fair since our CDs are usually cheaper here, too, at least on the west coast."

      Uno, dos, tres...hat trick!

      Hey Hosers! What the heck is a vertigo anyway?

      I think that's what you get when you've had too much molsen, eh.

      Or when you've gone toe-to-toe with Tie Domi and your touque is the only thing that's upright.

      This is our iTunes commercial, so like buy our album and stuff, eh. We also have a custom iPod specially made for the great white north. It's completely white. Buy that too. We get kickbacks so we can get more beer.

      Our time is up. Good day, eh!

    Sure, it's possible for Americans to buy from the Canadian Itunes store! But as Pres.Bush will remind you, we can't be sure those bits will be safe! What's really IN those files?

    Anyone can surf the Canadian store. You need a credit card with a Canadian address in order to purchase from the Canadian shop. I have been purchasing tracks from the US store here in Canada for the past year with my US based credit card. There are all sorts of loopholes like this in online shopping.

    Yeah, but our two tanks, five 60 year old helicopters, and 10 people are having some equipment problems, or so I've heard...

    (Disclaimer: I am Canadian. Yes, we make fun of ourselves.)

    It's not *really* a tank persay, it's just an overpriced, slightly used British submarine that we dare not put in the water.

    Buyer beware indeed.
