Merged: Americans buying discs from Canadian DVD websites - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

cardaway · 09-13-2002, 08:54 PM

I am considering buying the Canadian version of Brotherhood of the Wolf. This would be the first time I have bought a Canadian release online.

Where Canadian sites do you buy from as an American?

What is different about buying from them rather than an American site?

Which site has the cheapest prices?

What other Canadian DVD's are worth buying over the American version?

trainspotting...much more stuff on the canadian release. I usually buy Canadian imports from Northamericandvd.com, but i also buy a ton of dvd's from deepdiscountdvd (which is also north of the border)

The only Canadian site I've used myself is Videoflicks. My friend likes to use A & B Sound.

S&H costs are usually more expensive when ordering from Canadian sites, and delivery times are longer.

The only Canadian DVD I've bought so far is the Corrs - Live in London concert, where the Canadian release is the only Region 1 version out so far. No U.S. release, not sure why.

As soon as someone can confirm to me that the Canadian Back to the Future trilogy will have this artwork:

but the R1/American contents, I will be pre-ordering it from Canada!

The blue triple Alphapak blows.

The X-Files seasons are really priced low at Total Action Universe -less than $80 US including shipping. That's about $35 less than Amazon.

Cardaway:

If you want to order the Canadian SE of Brotherhood of the Wolf from a US company, Digital Eyes will be carrying it and will be shipping in time for street date. The disc is currently available for preorder at $31.96.

Digital Eyes DVD

I think northamericandvd.com has the complete first season of Babylon 5 available for 56.00 (US) plus shipping. Hellava deal.

after you see a DTS logo at the bottom i can't believe that that is the canadian or us cover

it seems to be the cover of the australian edition

KindredWarr · 10-08-2002, 09:34 PM

Hey,
I'm trying to find a good reliable place where I can order Canadian dvd's. I'm trying to get my self a copy of Vidocq, it seems like the only good versions of it are the french and the canadian ones, there's an R3 out there of it too, however it's full screen only

Any help is much appreciated.

I've gotten a few from www.dv-depot.com

tqpix · 10-08-2002, 10:04 PM

I don't know if all of them are reliable--they probably are--but here are some Canadian sites:

esc · 10-08-2002, 10:05 PM
