Epitome Pictures is planning separate releases of the Degrassi: TNG DVD in the US and Canada

Epitome Pictures is planning separate releases of the Degrassi: The Next Generation DVD in the US and in Canada. Funimation plans for distributing the 1st season in the USA, starting on September 28th. As you can see by the logo at the bottom of Funimation’s promotional website, they are merely taking the Canadian release being produced by Alliance Atlantis, and circulating it via their American distribution system. Amazon.com has it available for pre-order, showing a list price of $49.98 US dollars.

Alliance Atlantis has revealed that Degrassi: TNG will be available in Canada on October 5th (a week after the USA release), and the suggested retail price is $59.95 Canadian dollars. The special features shown sounds like they are identical to the Funimation listing for the USA. All of this was revealed via Alliance Atlantis’ advertisement.
