As someone else suggested just import the game from online outlets such as
www.dvdboxoffice.com. I got Beyond Divinity, Sacred, Farcry, BF1942 Vietnam for AU$50 each with free worldwide shipping. I got four great games for AU$200 instead of the AU$350-AU$400 I would have expected to pay in Australia.
Hey, that's not a bad site. Never thought of looking for a Canadian online retail outlet before, but the Canadian dollar seems to be of almost equivalent value to ours.
Can't tell without creating an account whether BD is actually available for shipping yet though, because it still incorrectly reports the sale date as April 13, 2004 (probably not a good sign). And part of the benefit of a gaming company cutting out the middle man and offering a download is the instant availability; no extended wait for the item to be shipped.
I know where I'm getting my region 1 DVD's from in future though... I just looked up
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me and it's going for $25.95! With free worldwide shipping, the deals are great. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
