Thanks for any answers

1) They have "Most" new releases. Nothing from 20th Century Fox, Criterion or Disney Animation and I think less and less MGM and Paramount titles as time goes on.
2) Yes, at least a couple of months...This months directors selection is Traffic (released on DVD May 29, 2001)
3) No, they still buy from the studios
4) The prices seem really expensive until you add up the total cost. If you get the 3 for $1 Plus 1 for $14.95 and then take 3 priced at $27.95 (which there are hundreds to choose from) then your final cost per DVD is about $18. If you sign up a friend you get another DVD for $4.95 which brings the average price down to $17 each. (These are based on the taxes I have to pay in BC, other provinces may be even cheaper!!) If you choose the titles which are less than $27.95 as you fulfilment titles this will bring the cost down even more but the selection is not very good.
5) There is no listing for Canada yet but there is a good one at DvdTalk.com for the USA club most of which are available in Canada.

If you go to this link remember that not all discs are available and the prices are US$. I am trying to get a list together of the higher $ movies that are available as sign-up selections (Lawrence of Arabia, T2: Ultimate, Seven: Platinum, Fight Club, etc.)
Hope this helps a little!!
