I`ve gotten Disney/Miramax and Universal DVDs of them with annoying bilingual covers. Is this the case with Fox,Warners etc.?

Its Canadian law that all labelling\signage is bi-lingual.

Play are in all likelyhood shipping DVD`s intended for the Canadian market presumably due to profit margins.



I consider myself an optimist, albeit an optimist with cynical tendencies and a dark side that Lucifer himself would find a little creepy. (Perhaps you've noticed.) You don't normally associate cynicism with an upbeat pov. But I have exactly that combination and will defend it.

Todays goal is to exceed yesterdays record level of totally unverifable productivity.

I don`t understand why people knock ASBO`s, they are good things as for most of the recipients, these are the only qualifications they will ever have.

Yes they ship bilingual French/English covers, which I dont like, but not all discs they ship are like this. I know Disney/Miramax and Universal are, but I wondered about the rest. Can anyone help?

It`s pot luck really. Some releases have bi-lingual covers, some don`t. All studios are affected. If it`s any comfort, I believe many Canadian collectors hate the bi-lingual covers too.
