Unknown expiry, but past experience is that the deal typically gets turned off sometime on Sunday or Monday.

Some of those titles seem tempting. Anyone know if some of the BDs will come with French writing on the cover as well?

the movies come from canada so its region A
i ordered No Country from them and i got it a few days later ... at first glance i was pissed off because the cover was in french ... BUT when i opened the movie the reverse side of the cover was in english ...
another thing that upset me (ofcourse later i said screw it but it did show something about they're customer service) when i though they sent me the french version i immediately emailed them ... and to this day i have not gotten an answer back lol

Oh man. I ordered a couple of things from these guys off their Amazon Marketplace a couple days ago. From the sounds of it, I might end up with French covers? I'm going to be very pissed if I am, since there was nothing about that in the listing at all. Ugh...

Yeah they have some Canadian imports in their store....
Not everything is Canadian imports tho....
Stuff that's hard to get here or not available in the U.S. like:
Scanner Cop, The Demolitionist, Diary of a Hitman, & some others....

I ordered "The Machinist," "Clerks" (3-Disc), and "Mystic River" (3-Disc). Hopefully that means my chances of English releases are good. They said they were based out of NY, if I remember correctly. I'll keep my fingers crossed, I guess.

I don't think I can come up with any I don't already own. I've been going nuts buying these from amazon and Kroger's. I wish I'd start seeing some new blood on clearance, but it's always the same group of titles it seems...

I've been restricting my searches to titles never released in the format over here like Equilibrium (have), In The Shadow Of The Moon (need) and Reign Of Fire (want).

I was doing that for a while, but didn't want to spend the big bucks. I did get Terminator 2 Director's Cut from overseas, but I think that's it. I decided to suck it up and get Blu-Ray, which is where I bought Resident Evil Trilogy, Rambo Trilogy, Underworld 1-2, as well as Death Proof... It would have cost me too much to import those on HD-DVD...

Interesting. I ordered Zack & Miri Make a Porno from their Amazon Marketplace store and didn't want it because it was the French version (not mentioned in their description). I e-mailed them requesting a refund and after a few subsequent e-mails and sending it back, I got my refund today (8 days after my initial e-mail to them). Of course, it's just a couple hour drive to the city where I send it, so that helped cut back on the turnaround time (sent it Sat., they got it Mon.).

I picked up enough to get to the free shipping, and some were replacements for recently stolen HD DVDs, while the others were ones that I was hoping to pick up at Fry's at the $5 price point, so this is a nice bonus to nab a few at $4 and without sales taxes.

I placed an order with them three weeks ago today (that was and is still in stock) and still haven't received the item. None of my e-mails have been answered. I'm in D.C. and I realize this will be shipped from Canada. But I've ordered from Amazon.co.uk and received all my purchases from them within 5 days. Without paying extra in shipping. What the fuck??

Well, everything's coming from Canada, and they're on the metric system, so it might take longer. I use the good old Bob & Doug "double and add 30" system when converting to/from metric:
50 mph = 130 kph
1 pound of back bacon = 32 kilos
12 Dunkin' Donuts = 54 Tim Horton Donuts
6 pack of Budweiser = 42 Molsons
So a 5 day wait for an Amazon order should equal a 40 day iNetVideo order.

You did notice I said an Amazon.co.UK order.....right? As in, from Europe. Either way, 40 days in this day and time is pretty fucking ridiculous.

Unless you're collecting every packaging variation, what's the problem with the bilingual Canadian packaging?

Because I speak English, and don't want French writing on my packaging. In my opinion, not to sound small-minded, it just looks silly to have the title written twice, once in French. The only movies I own that have French on them are Future Shop Exclusive SteelBooks, which is the only way they are available.

it's a new world we live in with an international market...it's not our grandpa's world anymore...resistance is futile and will leave those with a "nationalist type" of mentality behind.
