Playcentric selling Canadian versions
Is this a big deal? I just don't know. Received an order that contained the following Canadian versions of DVD:
Mary Poppins (Gold)
The Black Cauldron (Gold)
Reservoir Dogs
The web site did not state that these were Canadian, and prices were listed only in US dollars. I just checked the site, and the Disney pictures appear to be of the U.S. version (without the pre-printed on-case-front "French Included" emblem). The Dogs DVD has the Canadian emblem on the back, front is the same as U.S. Should I keep them, or attempt to return/exchange for U.S. versions? I have to admit I'm a little bit wary of getting into any kind of additional shipping circus with this e-tailer, due to the delays in processing and poor customer service I've experienced so far, so I'm inclined to keep them. Thanks for any input.

Update on Dogs DVD
I just skimmed through the DVDs quickly upon pickup from USPS today, but took a closer look after work; not only is the Reservoir Dogs DVD the Canadian version, IT'S FREAKING USED!!!! No shrink-wrap, no security stickers, nothing but the case and disc (plus what looks like the original paper chapter sheet). Just stuck it in the player, and it seems okay. I still think it's pretty stinky for any merchant to pull that kind of stunt. Thoughts?
