Netflix launches in Canada, console access detailed

Movie service Netflix is ready to serve the Great White North. Shacknews reporter Xav de Matos (former Joystiqer, still Canadian) notes the service is currently available on PS3 and Wii, with the Xbox 360 version rolling out later.

• PS3: Available now. It's an application, so no disc is required (unlike the States). However, users have no ability to create an instant watch queue.

• Wii: Available now. Disc from Netflix.ca required. Also, no ability to build an instant watch queue.

• Xbox 360: Coming "soon."

The streaming-only option for Canada costs $7.99 a month and also includes access through PCs and Apple devices.
