It's on every PS3 game I've bought in the last few months. Don't know about 360 though since the last purchase was in May, and Wii even further back. So is this a PS3 only thing, and in any case, why are they doing it? Looks so tacky.

The only game with French stuff in the manual I've got it's SCIV and I don't read the manual that much so I don't really care.

This is Canada damnit! People should learn how to speak the language. If they put French (along with English) on gamecases in the US, people would round up in a mob equipped with pitchforks and shotguns.

I'm Canadian bilingual in both languages, it is simply to abide to government labeling regulations, seeing as Canada is officially a french and english speaking country.

I KNOW Quebec is pretty much the only french speaking province in the nation, but don't forget we have french dwellers within Ontario itself, in Sudbury, Waterloo, and even in Toronto (there are many elementary schools and high schools that teach exclusively french to native speakers)

So though you may be ignorant thinking about English speakers, it actually is the French speakers that are being respected as a minority.

And believe me Quebec would've gotten out if Canada let them. Well, most people there don't give a **** about the rest Canada.

And I honestly think it's great they still speak french and that they don't wanna be assimilated by english people. So shut the hell up you ignorant people who think they "should just learn english." If there was no law on language they'd be speaking all english now and most of its cultural history would be gone, which would be a shame.

just because thier games box is bilingual they turn into a racist fest and say abusive things when they dont know anything about Quebec or French culture. get out of your gaming world and learn about differents countrys and culture then yours..

Because I dont care if you are not happy with your box bilingual stuff. Respect others and you will be respected and this is far more important then your games box.

Because by having 2 languages, they cover more terrain with one printing, and no need for a redesign of the box. I really dont care.

We're not insulting them, we're simply saying that the French on the game cases is not needed.

Wow. And I thought that the PS3 board was safe from the recurring Québécois bashing happening on the OT board.....oh well! All I can say to the haters is thank you for proving us (separatists) right in our desire for secession.

On the subject, I think complaining about writings on a game cover is downright nit-picking. Have fun staring at your game cover while I actually PLAY the game!

Oh we'll be having plenty of fun, don't you worry. Soon there will be a category when reviewing games. The new category will be "Cover design".

Starscream35

Sorry but yes, I am a separatist and no, I don't hate immigrants and Canadians (in fact, I'm a big fan of the Canadian musical scene). Just like I said to somebody else, my political allegiance is not motivated by hatred. It just happens I have my reasons to believe both Québec and Canada would benefit from a secession. It just goes to prove that you're as narrow-minded as the ones you hate.
