The Canadian release of The Fast Runner was supposed to come out this week. Has anyone picked it up yet? I'm planning on ordering it, but I'd like to hear a little bit more about the disk itself.

... so I should have it sometime in the next month. Probably.

Let me know if you have any specific questions, and I'll post when I get to check it out.

Mine just shipped on Saturday from dvdsoon as well, so hopefully it won't be too long.

Watched mine over the weekend. I haven't had a chance to look at disc 2 yet, but the feature looked and sounded pretty good to me . I tried to briefly look at the "fact track" on Disc one but nothing seemed to happen. I am not sure how often the facts are supposed to pop up, but I didn't see anything just skipping around.

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't even know that it was a 2 disk set. I was expecting it to be a barebones set. I'll definitely have to order it now. DVDSoon here i come...

Well, the US edition from Columbia TriStar's been announced, and it's apparently a bare bones single disc with no extras.
So is the Canadian 2-disc set the way to go? Can anyone offer a more complete description of the disc and the extra features on it?

I am wondering: Why DVDsoon everybody? I don't think anybody who lives in Canada orders from them.

I got mine. It looks great. Haven't perused the extras yet, but looking forward to it.

Why DVDSoon? Some good prices and free shipping for orders of a certain size.
