More Memorabilia
Amazon.ca had just activated the beta version of their Toys and Games Store, which features Action and Toy Figurines, Die Cast Vehicles, Games, and various other memorabilia from from music, film, television and internet.
Their selection is limited compared to their American Store but I suspect they will expand quite significantly in or by October or November.
Redbox Expands In Canada
Redbox kiosks have now been placed in more retailers in Canada.
These kiosks, which are either located in a retailer or outdoors near the retailer’s entrance, offer movie rentals in both DVD and Blu-Ray. But unlike the Zip kiosks, they take reservations online and offer game rentals for Xbox 360, Wii and Playstation 3.
Though more expensive than Zip for DVD rentals at $1.50/day, Redbox also offers Blu-Ray rentals at $2/day so I will probably rent my Blu-rays from them when they decide to expand to my local grocery store or Walmart. The Zip kiosk location I currently rent from is some distance from my home.

Teksavvy Issues Statement
Teksavvy has stated in a recent blog entry that they have received a request for information in regards to 2000 IP addresses.
According to this blog entry, Voltage Pictures LLC intends to file a lawsuit on December 17th, 2012 in order to gain this information from the Chatham, Ontario based internet provider. And many members of the media have speculated that this is related to the illegal downloading of “The Hurt Locker“, an 2008 action film featuring Jeremy Renner and Guy Pearce.
The company claims that it intends to fight for their customer’s privacy. Click here to access the legal documents on this case.
