Difference with C.S.I. release in Canada

I realize that the csi box sets are selling for cheaper in Canada on amazon.ca and that the US verison is considered an import selling for almost $20 higher. Does anyone know if there are any differences between the set sold in the US and the one in Canada. Thanks in advance.

I think Season 1 was sold in 2 parts in Canada. Not sure about later seasons.

It is true that the first season of C.S.I. was released in two packages in the beginning, however, Alliance Atlantis have since seen the error of their ways and released it together in one set.

The box doesn't look like the one for the U.S. but it is available now and from what I can tell the specs are identical.

I think the two sets also don't have the Who beginning. I think there were rights issues when it was first released. For what its worth.

Season 2 had an extended hockey tournament scene. Kinda cool.

Season 2,3,4 should be identical...except for the bilingual packaging.

I purchased my CSI S4 from a Canadian online retailor (NorthAmericanDVD), and can confirm that it is IDENTICLE to the US release. No bilingual anything and no changes in the content or layout of the discs. In fact, this looks to be the American release, for all intents and purposes.

First time purchase from the Canadian site, as they had it listed for $39.99 plus $6.00 shipping, which, even with the high shipping, is less then DDD (even with a discount).

Took a while to get here, but worth the wait!

Probably wouldn't buy from them again though, unless they had some really good deal on a box set. Prefer DDD greatly, due to their order tracking and shopping cart system (that NADVD lacks).

Is that how it's spelled in Canada? (Sorry, couldn't resist)
