CDNow selling Canadian versions
Has anyone else noticed that CDNow is selling Canadian versions of many DVD titles? I just got "A Beautiful Mind", and it has both French and English on the front, back and spine of the cover. I also got "Gosford Park", and it's the Alliance version. Luckily, both these Canadian DVDs have the same special features as the US DVDs. "Gosford Park" has French subtitles instead of Spanish.
The other 3 DVDs I ordered ("Devil's Backbone", "20 Million Miles To Earth" and "Freeze Me") all seem to be the US releases.
But I'm a little worried about ordering from CDNow again. Not all Canadian DVDs are equal to the US versions. I'm also not crazy about getting the French coverart.

That is interesting, considering one of their offices (could be their main office) is near where I used to live in the Philadelphia area. They must be getting some kind of discount. You would think, USA location, USA version.

Damn! If I wanted a Canadian verison, I would rather order from dvdsoon.com or somewhere a lot more cheaper (given the current exchange rate)! Isn't CDNOW a U.S. based company?
