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. |

Re: SE5: It\'s out and yet it\'s not
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.

On Saturday I used the Gamestop web site to check store availability, and of the 20 or so Gamestop or EB stores within 30 miles none had it and only 3 or 4 were showing it "on the way". I called the closest one, and they said that they actually carry very few PC games and only get the ones expected to be big sellers (which pretty much rules out TBS outside the Civ franchise, eh?).
So, I called Gamestop & ordered it with overnight delivery. Shipped UPS overnight yesterday, arrived in town at "zero-dark-thirty" today, and I should have it in hand tonight! |

Re: SE5: It\'s out and yet it\'s not
Just got an email confirmation from Ebgames.com - Its been shipped and should be here in Boston today! Woot!
I called the local ebgames on Friday, they said it was supposed to be in the store that day, but it had not been shipped to them yet, didn't know why.
Oh well, I'll be playing it tonight, so, Woot!
