I would imagine because movies probally sell more over here. And sometimes need gimicks to sell overseas. I know thats why alot of 360 gave away free faceplates and stuff like that with the purchase of games overseas.

In Canada, the reason we were given is that Future Shop wants to break the loyalty people have to their stores, A&B Sound, HMV, etc... People get attached to their small stores too, and don't want to give business to the big ******* on the market
