Likewise, thanks to Paul for pointing out that small Relay Rentals also went out of business. We've also added a review on the new Kaku.ca rental site which just became active on December--it's too early to tell how they'll do in this industry littered with failed companies, so we've rated them conservatively for now.

This brings the total Canadian DVD rental rental sites to their lowest level in years, only ten companies left. We hope the situation has stabilised, so customers retain several choices. ]]> DVD Rental News http://canada-dvd-rental-guide.com/blog/index.php?itemid=61 Tue, 2 Mar 2010 13:50:45 -0600 http://canada-dvd-rental-guide.com/blog/index.php?itemid=60 Game Access (now up to 3,000 game titles). Canflix stile stocks some 1,000 titles, but their inventory is mostly older titles, so not the choice for the avid gamer]]> DVD Rental News http://canada-dvd-rental-guide.com/blog/index.php?itemid=60 Tue, 2 Feb 2010 13:47:00 -0600 http://canada-dvd-rental-guide.com/blog/index.php?itemid=59 DVD Rental News http://canada-dvd-rental-guide.com/blog/index.php?itemid=59 Sun, 3 Jan 2010 13:45:00 -0600 http://canada-dvd-rental-guide.com/blog/index.php?itemid=58 DVD Rental News http://canada-dvd-rental-guide.com/blog/index.php?itemid=58 Wed, 2 Dec 2009 13:44:00 -0600 http://canada-dvd-rental-guide.com/blog/index.php?itemid=57 DVD Rental News http://canada-dvd-rental-guide.com/blog/index.php?itemid=57 Thu, 5 Nov 2009 13:42:00 -0600 http://canada-dvd-rental-guide.com/blog/index.php?itemid=55 Netflix, whose shares have slid recently given competition from DVD kiosks and the threat of digital movie streaming, remains a strong company with a bright future, and these lessons apply just as well for Canadian DVD rental. As described in this Barrons piece, analysts note the lifespan of the DVD rental market will be longer than many believe. The rental-by-mail sector will be the biggest beneficiary of the drawdown in bricks and mortar stores which has been going on for several years.

This is a pity, as it leaves the Calgary-based company without a shipping depot in the east. We hope Canflix is able to reopen the facility in the coming months, as we know from several of our visitors' comments that this depot was a major selling point for customers in the east when deciding which company to sign up with. ]]> DVD Rental News http://canada-dvd-rental-guide.com/blog/index.php?itemid=51 Mon, 7 Sep 2009 15:02:28 -0500 http://canada-dvd-rental-guide.com/blog/index.php?itemid=56 DVDLink.ca, a new online rental company--we've been conservative in the rankings as we want to see how they turn out before recommending them over established companies. ]]> DVD Rental News http://canada-dvd-rental-guide.com/blog/index.php?itemid=56 Wed, 2 Sep 2009 13:36:00 -0500 http://canada-dvd-rental-guide.com/blog/index.php?itemid=53 Site Announcements http://canada-dvd-rental-guide.com/blog/index.php?itemid=53 Tue, 1 Sep 2009 15:06:00 -0500 http://canada-dvd-rental-guide.com/blog/index.php?itemid=52 Site Announcements http://canada-dvd-rental-guide.com/blog/index.php?itemid=52 Sun, 2 Aug 2009 15:04:00 -0500
