SFI are crap.Their website has nothing about ordering the game,while at the same time Aussies are playing with the game now.

The lack of any decent marketing plan has been typical SFI.They have done nothing,I recall some small gamespot preview many years ago.Very poor.

Let's see, how much would mail order cost? $39.99 from EB Games USA, + handling + tax. They don't say how much the handling and tax are.
International shipping to Canada (3-5 business days) is $14.99.
And there will be a duty charge to bring it into Canada.
Then there's the exchange rate to Canadian dollars.
It's probably going to be somewhere in the $60 - $70 range.

I'm going to wait to see if it's in stores at the release date of October 16th.

No duty between the US & Canada - NAFTA.

If only that were true. North American Free Trade Agreement is subject to tariffs and duties whenever one side feels like it. Take a look at how the US decided to screw Canada over with our US exports, such as lumber and beef recently. NAFTA is meaningless, since it's violated whenever either side wants to. Duties and tariffs are charged all the time when it shouldn't be.

Maybe for industrial-scale stuff like that, but I've ordered retail goods from Canada before - including PC software - and never had any duty charged.

I have been looking for it in stores around here but cannot seem to find it. Hell the store employees don't even know what I am talking about. That is depressing to say the least.

NAFTA is evil. A canadian firm sued the US because we banned the chemcial they used to sell to CA oil companies because while it did lower emitions, it also contaminated the water supply. Go figure.
