So far it comes with a Wide Screen version (Blu-ray), and it is darker then the Rhino version.

Those of you that bought this in Canada, did it have french anywhere on the spine or the packaging?

(BLU-RAY ONLY)

I don't mind french on my DVDs, but for some things, I must own the English only packaging for them.

Considering buying it from Amazon.ca - but not if there's french on it.

Here's a question - did you notice if there are the "quick-cuts" in this version? The original VHS version flowed together smoothly, but on the Rhino DVD version from a few years ago there are jagged cuts between some scenes. Hoping this problem was fixed with this version.

I went to Best Buy in Anjou, Montreal Qc, and there is no Gi joe the Movie Dvd or blueray and it doesn't show in their system either. Can anyone from Quebec please confirm in which store(s) and location(s) they found them?

I already have it on DVD. Is there any reason I should buy the new version?

I haven't seen it anywhere yet (not that I hunted very much for it). Hopefully, this isn't another example of something that we can't get in Quebec. Worse comes to worst, there's always Amazon.ca.

If not, I am sure you'll be able to get one at a local WM or Costco.

It's in widescreen for the first time and features commentary by Buzz Dixon.

It's weird, I was looking at some comparison shots of the wide screen vs. full screen (from the Rhino dvd I think).  The wide seems to show a little more to the sides but less of the top and bottom than the full screen.
