Surely the first US DVD will be the same as the Europe one?

As in, all the first season over two discs, and no extras except the menus and pretty lousy subtitles.

If it isn't, we (the European market) is being screwed! And that's NEVER happened before!

I would guess they would have to make a different version if for no other reason than it would be illegal to sell it in Canada - isn't there a Canadian law saying that all DVDs have to have a French audio track (or at least French subtitles) on them? Or is there another explanation as to why there are far more Region 1 movies with French tracks than Spanish ones?

Canadian fan here...just checking my Simpsons Season 1 DVD...(patiently waiting for season 2)

Special Features include...Audio: English 5.1 Dolby Digital, English Dolby Surround, French Dolby Surround. Subtitles: English, Spanish.

I'm not sure if there is a law requiring a French audio track, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was.

also a canadian fan, and i own several dvds that only have the english track, no subtitles in any language that i bought here. so i dont think there is a law, although i bet sales are better when they have the different languages and subtitles. Scott

movies with French tracks than

That would probably be it. Studios like WB and FOX tend to use French tracks than Spanish on their DVDs. Find it odd since there should be enough room for a Spanish track if they even bothered to put them on too, but since they also want to sell their DVDs in Canada too (also part of the Region One disignation) they'd had to conform to their lamey laws over the use of French language subs/dubs in this case.
