I have only been able to find American websites to preorder it as of right now . With our dollar being so low I wouldn't want to go this route . Has anyone found a preorder location for us Canucks ?

Thanks !

Doesn't the roadrunner store work for you? It worked for me, and I live in norway...

On roadrunner it's $19.99 plus $8.49 shipping which is 28.48 USD which converts to $39.50 Canadian . Kinda steep for a basic version of a cd , so I was just asking if anyone had any better info . Thanks for the reply noxon

In that case, you would be able to easily get it for half price if you wait until it releases. Us Canadians get screwed over with conversion rates these days. If we can bypass that in any way, it's worth the wait (You'll have to wait until release day to hear it anyway).

I've found recently that Amazon.ca doesn't start listing things until 30 days or so before release.  Check in early Jan, and it'll likely be there.  That's my go-to, since the distribution centre in Mississauga is about 8km's down the road from me.  I usually get stuff next-day.

I used to shop at playstop.ca, which re-branded to zeusonline.ca. The Astonishing is $16.93 there right now.  Last time I ordered from them (Breaking the Fourth Wall), it took forever, so I cancelled and went to Amazon.  Not sure where they pull their inventory from.

The only payment option on Amazon is a credit card, which is pretty ridiculous if you ask me. It appears to be the same on the other website too, unless I'm missing something.

Yeah... what's you're point?  Were you hoping to use cash?

This. Many online shopping websites use Paypal, but Amazon does not. It's unfortunate, really.

The joys of being an 800 lb gorilla.  PayPal is owned by a primary competitor, so it makes sense.  It'd be like Apple allowing Windows to run on a Mac.  They're big enough to not HAVE to allow PayPal.
