canada Wall-e , no BD-Live - Blu-ray Forum

rex1788 · 11-28-2008, 01:33 PM

I bought a copy of wall-e (2-discs) last week in Hong Kong wanchai 188 arcade, I couldn't find any BD-live in the menu in any disc. I didn't realize at first, until i found another copy in HMV which is a US version, and there is a BD-live icon on the bottom right cover! I felt stupid and careless ( mostly angry)for buying that Canada copy ! So be careful guys!!!!!!!!!

Why would there be any difference in the Canadian copy? Does Disney have something against us Canadians...do they think we don't deserve the same features?

On a different note I heard that the US version has 7.1 and 6.1 tracks (depending if you get 3 disc or 2 disc I think) while the Canadian version only has 5.1....what's up wit dat?!?!

TheZoof · 11-28-2008, 02:22 PM

Yup... I was a little upset about that. I picked it up for $22.50 CDN though so I was pretty happy I saved the $10.

I thought I read that Disney does not have any BD-Live servers which support customers in Canada. Does anyone in Canada have any experience trying to use BD-Live features on a Disney Blu-ray in Canada?

I have the US versions of Wall E and Tinker Bell which have BD-Live showing up in them but i've never tried using it.

According to Blu Ray.com, Wall-e US has 6.1 and Canada has 5.1.
That DOESN'T make sense?! Wouldn't that be so much more work for Disney?!

Why does Canada get shafted like this?
WE'RE ATTACHED TO THE US!

Plus, we're bigger then them

P@t_Mtl · 11-28-2008, 03:58 PM

too bad for the sound rather have 7.1 then 5.1 but not a truly big lost on the BD-Live, never bother using that.

F-Man · 11-29-2008, 06:31 AM

When setting the menu language to English, setup options in the Canadian release state 5.1 Dolby Digital, but it is in fact DTS-HD Master Audio 6.1 like the US release.

love4blu · 11-29-2008, 07:07 AM

I have made a post about the lack of Disney BD-live in Canada here:
Strangely, although I bought my disc from amazon.com (so, I assume I got the US version) the PS3 says it's 5.1

sapiendut · 08-25-2009, 12:12 AM

so... Disney still not granting access for BD-Live to Canadian users?

jlocioso · 10-30-2009, 04:39 PM

I got a side-question to canadian owners of Wall-E BluRay....
The US versions doesn't have any subtitles/dubbind beside original English track (and english subtitles), but canadian version seems to have both French and Spanish dub and subs. It's true?
It has all the extras an menues on three languages?
And movie text content? (as this image from the spanish Region B BluRay)

Blu-Boy in BKK · 03-26-2010, 04:42 AM

Is this still so?

Superking · 03-30-2010, 09:49 PM

No, it is no longer so.

The BD-Live issue has since been resolved, one of the reasons iirc was because of Disney's Rewards system or whatever via BD-Live, which they didn't have setup in Canada at the time (not to mention they had to also set it up for Quebec which has its own laws I believe with regards to things like that).

Sorry for bringing this thread back from the dead, but I got a question. Did the Canadian bilingual version of this title come with slipcase?.

sapiendut · 04-07-2011, 11:41 PM

The first batch comes with slipcase, the following batches no.

Thanks mate!. I hope I can find someone who's willing to part with this, but it seems unlikely.

sapiendut · 04-08-2011, 12:24 AM

try finding it on eBay. I also have problem in finding the sleeves for Toy Story 1 and 2 and the seller on eBay wants $10 each for sleeves... I opted not to use the sleeve instead.
