The EU Benelux disaster

[Stef Nighthawk]

Aaaargh I hate the benelux distributors for the Benelux (Belgium - Netherlands - Luxembourg). The available titles with dutch subtitles is really small compared to the neighbouring countries. Fox doesn't even have a blu-ray section on the belgium and netherlands site. They do have it on the UK and German site.
I was almost tempted to order X-Men 3 with a german cover because that one does have dutch subtitles. Luckily a few weeks later one with a French/Dutch cover was released.

I am still waiting for releases like 'Night at the Museum', 'Pirates 1 & 2', 'Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy', 'Saw 3' and many many others that are already available in English on play.com.

How dare they call the EU economically strong when companies still can't supply all the members the same content on the same time (albeit localised).

We dutch speaking members only need the subtitles. We don't want dubs (and hence don't get them), so why does it take like forever to get those titles in the shops?

Just compare www.mediadis.com (Belgian releases) with play.com

PS. The list of HD DVD is even smaller :-)
