Just bought it at BB for 19.99 and got the 5 dollar gift card with purchase so i bought reign of fire, for 17.99 minus the 5 thats 12.99!!!!!!!!
GGR's release date for Canada is the 26th.Aggggh. Well, at least I got Babylon 5 and Band of Brothers one week before the U.S. did.
Hmm, I wonder if Amazon.ca will import the US version?
GGR's release date for Canada is the 26th.Yes, I was surprised that I was unable to find this in Future Shop tonight. I was sure that their website listed the Nov 19 date. I even asked one of the staff why I couldn't find it... they pulled it up on their in-store system, and it had the release date as this week as well... but the little "release date" paper beside the computer listed the Nov 26 date. So even though the computer listed 20 in stock, I wasn't able to get one.
Any word on why the delay? Is this an Alliance Atlantis release? I wasn't aware they handled Artisan property, but it seems most AA releases are consistently late anymore, so I'm just curious. Surely all the delays lately can't be just for French packaging... Paramount seems to have no trouble at all releasing bilingual packaging the same day as the American release. And as I mentioned above, FS already had 20 units today, so why have a delayed released when the product is available in time for the original date anyway?
Reservoir Dogs (another Artisan title) had no bilginual text of any kind on it. Hopefully the same is true with Glengarry GlenRoss.True, but perhaps it had to do with RD being packaged with 5 different colours and a good deal of text on the inside cover. Alliance may have thought that it was too time consuming and cost-prohibitive for them to tackle this release.
Plus I don't know of any DVDs that were delayed in Canada, and did NOT have bilingual packaging.
