Queen DVD. Hard to find. - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

I guess part of the problem is that I'm in Canada and don't have easy access to 50 different DVD online and B&M stores like all you folks in the US.

I've checked all the local future shops and A&B sound locations for this DVD, and nada.

I was able to special order it at A&B but it'll take 6 - 10 weeks to get it. Future shop doesn't even list this DVD on their web site. http://www.futureshop.ca

Any other Canadian sites that carry it?

They have or are re-releasing with a new 5.1 soundtrack. The DVD itself is muddy and awful looking, I suspect it was ripped right off the laserdisc. Hope the new one's got a remastered picture!

Frankie, why don't you try http://www.cnl.com/ . They have Queen: We Will Rock You (RM) at $31.74 for the DD version and $38.74

for the DTS. The DD is in stock and the DTS is on back order.

D'oh! I forgot to mention the company is Canadian (Burnaby, B.C.).

Excellent!! Thanks Travis, I completely forgot about CNL. I find that their pricing is usually a little high. As it turns out their price is about the same as A&B on this title. (strange)

I started looking for it after I read this review. I never thought it would be this difficult to find.

I had the same problem, but I am lucky to have C&L warehouse close. I opted for DD version because I do not understand such a big price difference.
The reason why it is so hard to find it in Canada is that Pioneer apparently does not consider Canada a worthy market

(as per Future Shop rep) so it doesn’t distribute it directly.
