I just read that the game was available in Calgary.  Anyone know if it
is available in the Ottawa area ?

Hey ! Pierre Patry I'd like to know where you saw it in Quebec?

We're the 20th of July, I just came back from several stores (Compucentre,
Future Shop, etc.) and It's nowhere to be bought, sure we can see the
"infamous" empty box with the "coming soon" yellow sticker... After talking
with Yves Rochefort at Compucentre we learn that the game will be at their
wharehouse (in Montreal) by the 25th and that we can expect the game to be in
Quebec either friday the 26th or monday the 28th.

So, if you REALLY saw the genuine article in Quebec PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell
us poor souls WHERE was it... I'm desperate. ;-)

John.

Same thing I heard. Compucentre said the game will cost $75,
and Future Shop has it as $70 (and told me they would have it
'in the coming weeks').

Does anyone have mail-order experience (from Canada), and can
answer this: According to the ads in PCGamer, the game will sell
for 40$US. Assuming it is available starting July 23rd, do you think
it could end up being faster AND cheaper to mail-order from the US?
(considering exchange rate, two-day air shipping cost, duty fees...)

You will have to find a reseller that gets european imports in. The
stores you are going to are getting their products from US
distributers - hence the same release as US.
