Quote:And also as someone pointed out earlier. they have Region 1 rights. Region 1 does include Canada.
Generally, most DVD companies that get R1 rights get them for both the Us and Canada.
However, unlike Hollywoood studios, which make their titles in both the US and Canada, most anime companies make their product only in the US, meaning that anime is more expensive in Canada than it is in the US.
When I was in Canada this past March, I've noticed many Pioneer and ADV titles on the market at various record stores. However, to compensate for shipping and customs, the prices were marked up. Most single-disc anime DVDs sell for C$50, which is worth about US$37.50 (SRP in the US is generally US$30). And that's not including the GST or PST (sales taxes).
