    Futureshop having Big Sale on TV on DVD (Canada Only)

    Two Wal-Marts around here had The Simpsons season 1 for $15.93. Unfortunately both were out of stock for Family Guy - Volume 1. I also went to three Real Canadian Superstores (Loblaws back east). Two of them had volume 1 of Family Guy priced at $22.99, but had none in stock. One of them had...

    Alliance screwing over Canadian Customers (Please Help!)

    Alliance Atlantis doesn't care because DVD sales have been increasing enormously and the average DVD buyer does not compare versions on the Internet. I haven't bought an Alliance Atlantis DVD for over 2 years and won't ever again unless by some miracle they ever produce a DVD that's better...

    Elvis: '68 Comeback/Aloha From Hawaii DVD Update

    People on the alt.elvis.king newsgroup are saying that single-disc versions of both the '68 Comeback Special and Aloha From Hawaii will be issued in 2005. I don't think it's been confirmed though. "It Hurts Me" is one of my favourite songs in the whole show. Ian

    Elvis: '68 Comeback/Aloha From Hawaii DVD Update

    It's really a shame that "It Hurts Me" is missing from that production number. The official response is found here: http://www.elvis.com/elvisdvds/faq/faq.asp?id=23 Ian

    Futureshop having Big Sale on TV on DVD (Canada Only)

    Unfortunately, it looks like the sale is over at Future Shop. According to their website: Family Guy - Volume 1 is now back to $47.99 Simpsons season 1 is now back to $35.99 Prices were similar in-store too. Are they still cheap at Wal-Mart? Ian

    Alliance Atlantis - a query

    Alliance Atlantis = :thumbsdown: I've completely avoided Alliance Atlantis ever since their original, horribly subpar release of Memento. A friend of mine has the 2-disc Alliance Atlantis version of Fellowship of the Ring. He reports that, when listening to the English audio track, the...

    Any Reviews of Led Zepplin (2003)??

    Since the additional versions of Dazed & Confused and Communication Breakdown are extras, they shouldn't interfere with your enjoyment of these concerts. Even if you don't listen to the additional versions, you're still going to hear over 4 hours of music! I was absolutely blown away by the...

    Hunt For Red October

    OK. That's great! Thanks Lewis. Usually I'd just order the US version, but it'd cost me about $30 more to buy the new Jack Ryan set from the US. I've been told that the French subtitles appear beneath the English ones on the Canadian Fellowship of the Ring DVDs by Alliance Atlantis, even when...

    Hunt For Red October

    When listening to the English DD or DTS track on the Canadian version of the SE, do French subtitles automatically appear when they speak Russian? Are the discs identical to the ones sold in the US? If not, what differences are there, other than the cover? Thanks. :)

    Cheap Totem Dreamcatcher in Canada

    Hi Antoine, I was at The Sound Room on West 4th in March and was quoted, in Canadian dollars, a price of $600 per pair of mains with mahogany finish, $550 for the center, and $800 for the subwoofer. If you go to The Sound Room, get Ezio Lazzari to show them to you. I thought he was excellent...

    Mark Knopfler - A Ragpicker's Dream

    Thanks for the review. I went to A&B Sound yesterday, but they said it's been delayed here until October 8 due to all the Canadian copies being defective. The version in Canada appears to be a limited edition version with a bonus CD or DVD that contains live versions of:Why Aye ManQuality...

    Right now I am hating UPS

    Jason, if you have a large enough vehicle, you could call UPS and ask them if you can pick up your parcel. If the truck gets to the UPS depot before the customer service desk closes, you may very well be able to pick it up this evening. If not, you may be able to pick it up tomorrow. I was...

    Need info on Paradigm dealers in Vancouver, Canada

    Jason, I highly recommend the Audio Video Unlimited in Maple Ridge. That is a truly excellent store with very friendly, relaxed service. If he's not going to be in that area, he could check out the Audio Video Unlimited in Vancouver on West Broadway or The Sound Room in Vancouver on West 4th...

    Totems, Axioms, Aperions

    Juan, according to this post, you may want to avoid using the Harman Kardon amps to drive the Dreamcatchers. I listened to them with the HK 320 and thought they sounded too thin.

    Siskel and Ebert

    The interaction between Siskel and Ebert was excellent and I felt that they both kept each other on their toes. Their discussions were quick, witty, and intelligent. There could be some pretty funny moments on the show too. :) Seeing them together again on the new Pulp Fiction CE and Jackie...

    anyone audition Totem speakers?

    I listened to the Arro and the Dreamcatcher hooked up to a Harman Kardon AVR 320 a few months ago and really wasn't impressed by them much at all. The sound seemed a bit thin to me. I opted to get B&W instead which I felt imaged really well and sounded fuller. I must say though that Totem...
