Its the same up here in Canada. Every week I voyage to the local computer shops and every week they don't have a game that's been out the other side of the pond for quite some time now. Interestingly enough, they do have the import of Monaco Grand Prix by UbiSoft, but at present my Banshee'd P200 MMX can't handle it well enough. Colin McRae demo on the other hand ran beautifully. Try this URL http://www.interactcd.com They sell imports and I saw McRae listed. I'm just going to wait a little longer before I break down and have it shipped to me. Cheers, Rochester

I live in Calgary, AB and found the game on the shelf at CompuSmart for C$59.95. I believe they have online shopping as well - check it out! >> After playing the demo, I am convinced that this game rocks.
