Visitors to the Canadian iTunes Store now have access to HD movies, Apple has announced. Titles can be bought for between $15 and $25 CAD, and rented for $5 or $6, depending on a movie's age and popularity. A limited selection is presently available, but does include movies like Inglourious Basterds, American Psycho, Star Trek, Coraline and Iron Man.

Despite the proximity and relative wealth of the Canadian market, Apple has generally lagged in terms of parity between the Canadian and American iTunes Stores. For some time Canadian video was mostly limited to music clips and Pixar shorts, and the initial arrival of movies and TV shows presented people with a fraction of the content available just miles south. Americans have had access to HD movies from iTunes since March.
