Watchmen Exclusive w/Night Owl ship U.S version compared to Canada Version - Blu-ray Forum

mds · 07-21-2009, 07:50 PM

Hey Guys, or gals.

I have been looking at the Amazon Exclusive Watchmen 3 disc Special edition version w/Owl ship, just because I like spending money, and couldn't help notice that on "Amazon.com" the details for it states that it has 3 discs.
It has the 'Directors Cut' movie, the extras, and the digital copy, and sells for $74.99 plus shipping (Because I'm in Canada).
Now when you go to "Amazon.ca", it shows it as 3 disc, English & French version, extras, digital copy, and sells for $64.99 free shipping.
So what I'm trying to figure out is if they labeled it differently and both the US and Canada versions, have the 'Directors Cut' movie, or only the US has the 'directors cut' movie, and the Canada version has the 'English/French' version.
Everything else looks exactly the same, just the title is different.
I'm all about the Directors Cut, and don't give 2 sh#ts, about the French language, but is it worth spending the extra $25?
Hopefully someone out there knows for sure what both the US and Canada editions really have, and can clear this up for me.
I know the review for this is coming up this month, but thought I'd throw it out there anyways.

thanks.

The sets are virtually identical. The discs will be exactly the same. Only difference may be some french on the packaging.

thanks,
I thought it might be. You know that for sure?
Why the huge difference in price?

Many are questioning that... no real answer.

So, I got the whole package on saturday, and it is very f*$ken cool!!
The discs say, Directors Cut on the front, and it comes with the digital copy.
So, it is definately the same thing as the US, just don't know why the price difference.
Oh, well.

thanks to those that replied.

That's awesome! I truly hope this happens more often (especially in the case of the more expensive/exclusive sets).

I bought the Canadian version as the price was lower.

The only difference is some bi-lingual writing on the paper insert.
