Europeans enjoy complaining that they always seem to get the good stuff after the Americans. And Americans complain that the Japanese get the good stuff before the Americans do. Where does that leave Canadians? Often, Canadians get their stuff the same day Americans do. For example, the PlayStation 3 is scheduled to debut in the USA and in Canada on the same day - November 17th.

But as I found out last week when I tried to find a BD disc on launch day, the BD launch is happening in Canada just a bit after the States. We’re getting the Samsung BD player on June 30th this time around. That’s a six day delay which really isn’t a problem. But it would have been nice to know about it beforehand!
