Release Date?Hello,
I just playtested the Steam version, so it should be up there in time. You should also be able to get it from Larian's store directly this week, most likely from thursday on.
Also, I just opened up the retail version for both PC & Xbox360, meaning that retailers should be getting them soon too, at least in Western Europe, Canada and Australia.
If Amazon.ca doesn't allow ordering from the US once they have the game in stock, I'm sure other Canadian or UK sites will. Last we heard about a US publisher/distributor (awhile ago), Larian was still working on a deal for the physical version.

North American FOV PATCH for PC???So our patch plans are the following:
-We ship DKS and FOV in all languages.
-For Germany, we bring out a FOV patch which brings it up to date with the international versions of FOV once FOV is released.
-For ED buyers, we're planning to bring out a free patch that turns ED into DKS minus the FOV content, but with the caveat that savegame compatibility will not be maintained due to the many changes in DKS content. However, we'll need the ok of the publishers of ED to release this patch, s that's still in the air. Due to the rules for patches on the X360, we won't be able to release this patch on X360 for ED since it's going to be very large.

Larian can certainly add equipment sets to their digital download version if they wish. There were a few places that had unique sets specific to their copies of D2:ED, primarily as pre-order bonuses.
