Guess I will wait to hear back from my local LC but if it's that expensive I would totally rather pay someone to ship me out a bottle or two if anyone is interested.

Shipping might be a problem. I tried to get my friend in NFLD to ship me a bottle, but Canada Post, UPS, etc. wouldn't do it because alcohol is "potentially" combustible.

Methinks if the delivery truck catches fire they've got bigger problems than a bottle of 40% vodka.

Anyone know where I can find a Hori stick (HRAP or FS3) in Toronto? Or where I can order one in Canada online without breaking the bank?

Pretty sure I already said that

Just use Fed-ex lol

Does anyone know where I can find Excite Truck without having to pay $55 at EB for it?
EDIT: NM, found a decent one on eBay.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I figured I'd try anyway. I'm planning on importing a game from play-asia (the Rockman Dash Value Pack, after shipping it should end up being over $50 Canadian), but I've never imported anything before, so I'm not sure on how this works. Would I have to pay import taxes or anything like that?

Or is there a cheaper place to import games to Canada other than play-asia?

I usually use P-A to import my games since they usually have sales, tho I don't know if they're the cheapest.

And in terms of customs, it's a coin flip if they'll charge you or not tho I find if your order is under a certain amount (20-25), it's less likely you'll get charged.

Does anyone know where I can find DiRT? I mean, I saw it on Amazon.ca for $40, and Ebay is similar. Is the game getting rare or something, or why is it still at such a high price?
At one point, I saw it used at BBV for $10...

I had to pay when i got a Dualshock controller from them. I think the policy is that under $20 = no duty. Over that, they seem to charge you the equivalent of sales tax in your province, plus a $5 handling fee. So for example in Ontario they will convert the price of the item to Canadian currency, charge me 13% of that, plus $5. Sometimes you can get lucky and squeak through with no charge. Stores won't usually do this, but if the package is marked as a "gift" then the item can be worth more before they tax it, like $60 or something. I don't know if these policies have changed since my experience.

I've ordered things from play-asia and its about 50/50 chance you get caught with paying duties at least that is how its been in my experiences

Ouch...I really don't want to have to end up paying like $60-70 for this game. If only I could avoid those darn import taxes...

Thanks for the answers everyone. I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but at least I have some information now.

TronB: Here's a trade secret among P-A customers; seek out $5 off $50 order coupon codes or a better coupon.

Anyone know where i can get gears of war 2 used or new for a reasonable price? If so where and how much?
thanks

I'm still wondering the same as well for DiRT (360). Anyone seen a cheap copy?

I have seen DiRT used at BBV for $9.99 but I think that was before they jacked up their prices a few months ago. Also they sold pretty fast at that price so good luck finding one.

i saw one for 9.99 at BBV at richmond hill... are you around richmond hill? ( this was.... less then a month ago)

Any idea why they would be selling at 40$ on amazon? I mean, I also saw it a few months ago at 9.99...so I was wondering why the price would have just apparently seemed to jump like that.

^ when i first saw it, i thought it was a mediocre racing game? huh... no idea man...

sort of like F1 for Ps3 maybe. ive been searching for that game, never found one.

Anyone know where I can get cheap copies of any of the DragonBall/Z/GT on GBA in Toronto?

Same goes for DragonBall GT: Final Bout for PS.

Same also goes for Zelda: Twillight Princess, but I know that one will never happen.
