Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: Yes, but it will have French on the cover.

Dosumthin7 · 01-03-2009, 01:31 AM

okay thank you!! cause it saves a lot of money ordering from the Canadian store

Dosumthin7 · 01-03-2009, 01:39 AM

if so is there a difference at all beside some of the cover being in french, and is it like that on all the blu rays?

if it released in canada then yes i believe that most of them do have bilingual covers

peter008 · 01-03-2009, 03:34 AM

back of the cover yes, front not always some time all you see is the words (traduction anglaise incluse) or the french title is written a little less bigger and right underneath the english title. it all depend on the movie i know i'm from province of quebec canada.

peter008 · 01-03-2009, 03:41 AM

a mistake on my part it's (version francaise incluse) and not (traduction anglaise incluse) sorry guys

Johnny Vinyl · 01-03-2009, 03:45 AM

I'm in Canada...I've bought lots of Blu-ray's without any French (not that I care if it does or not).

alienofwar · 01-03-2009, 05:38 AM

NO, America does not have an official language ENglish is just the most spoken so its not a law like in Canada.

I know for a fact because I live in Canada and I own quite a few American blu-rays and DVDs.

No, they are entirely in English

No. Why would we? English is our sole official language. Unfortunately some things like food packaging do, but that may be due to exporting, which may explain why sometimes you see French too.

Actually nearly all of our states have English as our official language. For whatever reason no one ever got around to making it so at the federal level. So yes, English is essentially America's official language despite that.

As an American buying a Canadian disc, it wouldn't bother me if French was also on the cover. Now if you guys have those age and rating symbols like in the UK, that would bother me, and I'm not even a cover art fanatic.
