wanderer99 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Hello, I'm wondering if anyone in Canada has actually found this game on store shelves today, as I have not been able to. In fact, I have checked with every EB Games, Best Buy and Future Shop, and it's not even listed in anyone's database of future releases. Pretty much every software person I have talked to today has looked at me like I'm crazy when I ask about it. :noexpression: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Same here. I have been checking since the last couple of weeks and no stores knew what I was talking about.. I ended up pre-ordering on amazon.com. They won't ship outside the US for everything they sell, but they will for DCS:BS. The game should ship out tomorrow.

Tnt Snipes Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 i don't think you'll find it on stores... you have to get it online only... maybe its for tackling piracy... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferocious_Imbecile Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Electronic Boutique has all but given up on carrying PC games now. I suppose there's Best Buy or Future Shop but even they just stick to mainline games. I've never even seen Silent Hunter 3 on the shelves in any game store in Vancouver...

Jonay Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Electronics Boutique?! God that brings back memories! We used to have one near where i live, but its loooooong since gone, about '96-'97 I last saw that shop. Its changed to "GAME" now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiFly62 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I would imagine it'll show up in Canada to. EG Games US lists it as coming soon. I'm hoping once they sort things out we'll see it up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
104th_Crunch Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Order it from Amazon.com. They'll ship to Canada. Or just order the download online and burn it to DVD. You'll only be missing a box that will sit on your shelf anyway. I can't understand why people must have this version when it's been out for months. Oh Well, to each his own.

wanderer99 Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 Thanks to all that posted, glad it's not just me that had trouble finding this. I expect it will be more widely available in the coming weeks as someone stated. As for you Crunch, I'm an old school PC gamer that buys a boxed copy of my games in an actual store. That's how I've always done it, that's how I'll always do it. If that means I have to wait longer than other people, so be it. Hope that clears things up for you.

In the future though I think digital distribution my be the only option for some software. Hope you get it soon. Staybullex, we're talking about Canada. Of course ordering form the US is always a possibility. Edited April 9, 2009 by Crunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much every software person I have talked to today has looked at me like I'm crazy when I ask about it. :noexpression: That's unacceptable... make sure once you get a copy go to each eand every one of the stores where sales people had no clue about it and show it to them right in their face :D then ask them what kind of sales people are they when they don't even know what software is available, then cal them X-Box newbs then run out of the store like this: :pilotfly: No longer active in DCS...

cadete2000 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 No old the pc games that are selling in the USA are coming to Canada,I even called the EB games main office in Toronto and they say it will be very improbable for them to bring BS over here,the solution they gave me was to order online to EB or GS on the Estates,which I did yesterday.

Rocky49 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I ordered from Gogamer today and twice they confirmed my order and twice they cancelled my order because of Authorization problems with my Visa card. I live in Abbotsford BC and have a valid US address as well. I wonder if the problem is that my Visa has a Canadian address, even though it is a US currency card.

I already went to Future shop in Abbotsford as well as EB. They had never heard of it either. I had to show the guy at Future Shop the website so he would know what I was talking about. I told him to make sure they get this game in. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Call Sign: Warhammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky49 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 In all my years of flight simming this is the first time I have run into people from Abbotsford. I am waiting for a response from Gogamer. You can get the game from Amazon.ca but they are charging $63.00 Canadian. Gogamer is 39.90 which is about $49.75 Canadian which is a lot less.

KaBoNG Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 (edited) You can get the game from Amazon.ca but they are charging $63.00 Canadian. Rocky - where on Amazon.ca did you see this? I looked every where and couldn't find it. Please post a link. p.s. I tried ordering from gogamer but the drop down list of states/provinces doesn't show any provinces and I can't type mine in, so gogamer doesn't appear to be an option. Of those US sites that would ship to Canada (amazon.com, ebgames.com, etc.) after shipping charges I would end up paying $63.00 US, so, after the exchange rate, the amazon.ca offer may end up being a better deal, without cross border hassles. Anyone know of ANY Canadian sources to order the DVD from? p.p.s. Thanks for nothing DCS. You have apparently done a North American release that omitted Canada. Why then did you call it a North American release? p.p.p.s. NO, I DON'T WANT THE DIGITAL DOWNLOAD VERSION SO DON'T BOTHER SUGGESTING IT!

ED Team JimMack Posted April 13, 2009 ED Team Share Posted April 13, 2009 Have a look at this you fellow CANADIANS http://www.amazon.ca/DCS-Black-Shark-PC-C/dp/B001TK3FIO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1239595157&sr=8-1 I think this may be the French Language version of CS:Black Shark, as the publisher is cited as Micro Applications (TFC French Distributor), and the box shot is the European box.

You're right. I phoned Amazon.ca today and they confirmed it is the French version, so I cancelled my order.

LtFransky Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Why is the digital copy considered devil spawn? I got it on the day of release and it's perfect. Ours is not to reason why, but rather to do and die. A man walks into a zoo. The only animal in the entire zoo is a dog. It's a shitzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
