Canadian & American release of 17 Again on blu - Blu-ray Forum

agoofykindasuperman · 08-09-2009, 03:54 AM

Anybody else notice the differences? I'm in Canada, and managed to get an early copy of the movie on blu-ray, but noticed it differs from the American release.
A quick search on both Amazon web sites confirms I did get the dumbed-down Canadian version.

The US version includes, above the Canadian one; DVD copy, Digital Copy, 3 additional bonus materials (however I have yet to open my copy and place it in my player to see if the non-listed bonus features are actually on the disc or not).

Does anybody know? Or is this just another fine example of why Alliance should go bankrupt already and save us Canucks from their horrible releases?

Yeah, sounds like another reason why they should go bankrupt.

The Canadian/Alliance one is just one disc, but I believe it does contain all the extras present on the US version. If you're buying a blu-ray, really.. who cares about a DVD & digital copy. Only 13% or so of people that receive digital copies actually use them.

ya, I don't care about the other discs really, but cost-wise the US is definitely getting the better end of the deal. Theirs comes with all the swagger, for less than the Canadian counterpart.

Well I can confirm now that all the special features listed on the back of the American version are included on the Canadian, even though they weren't listed.

The DVD and digital copies are still MIA however, but are unnecessary for me.

Is The VIDEO QUALITY the same as the American? I ordered from inetvideo and its the Alliance version, I am upset.

Video quality should be the same but don't hold me to it.

steve_dave · 09-04-2009, 05:18 AM

It would be the same video quality as Alliance just repackaged the US BD for Canada.

Alliance is the Hitler of DVD studios
