Anyone no if GPL has been released in Canada? Calls to EB generally result in blank stares, or end of October dates. Gary

So I tried a smaller but trusty store in the city, and the guy told me to expect it by next Thursday. His words, not mine. Daryl Shilling.

I phoned our local Future Shop in Windsor, Ontario here (no EB in the ass end of Canada!!) and they said if its out in the US the 30th then Canada will get it 3 weeks later after every US distributer gets a copy. Can't wait that long!!! So I'm crossing the border to Detroit this weekend and burning off some excess US dollars!!!P.S. phoned ACTLABS too. Finally gonna get my Force RS in 2 weeks as soon as the shipment comes from Hong Kong. Hot damn!!!!!

GPL is in Canada. I picked up a copy today at Electronics Boutique in Hamilton/Ont. Of course up here with PST, GST it was over 70 dollars. Hope it's worth it. later Sean
I'm sure Mr. Chretien would be more than happy to refund your GST payment, since he promised his Liberal govenment would get rid of that tax. ;) Daryl Shilling.
It's here in Ottawa too, or rather it was. When I checked at the Electronics Boutique at Carlingwood mall this afternoon they said they had 10 copies in the store yesterday. But they sold out within 45 minutes of hitting the shelves! During the five minutes I spent in the store talking to the guy at the counter today, tow other people walked in and asked for Grand Prix Legends. The counter guy said it must be a really great game judging just from the number of requests he's had so far. -Ferdinand-

I picked up my copy at the Richmond, B.C. Electronic Boutiques today. It was the last copy for now. Charles
:) I am on the waiting list, too, at the EB at Carlingwood Mall for GPL. CompuCenter may be getting it in sometime this week (thought they tend to charge more). Good luck! - Vitzthum.
