Are they lame?

For Canadians.

Drakengard 3 is available for pre-order, but only through Square Enix at the moment. The nuisance is that there is no Canadian distributor, and there is a $13 shipping fee to pre-order from USA. Plus Customs usually gets stuff like this so I expect an additional $8-$10 surcharge.

So a $50+tax game in USA is $73+tax in Canada.

On top of that there are rumors that the game will be digital only in Canada. So I either gamble on a retail release and rely on eBay if one doesn't show up, or pay 50% more for the same game.

Lame Square Enix, going to gamble on a retail release.

Maybe we deserve this North of the border since video games have been cheaper here for quite some time. The Canadian dollar is worth less then the US dollar (10% less now) yet video games cost the same. So a $400 PS4's only cost about $360 USD here, and $60 games cost about $54 USD

Lol thats not even bad, you know how many games dont get released in Australia physical or digital. Its a fucking joke



That's all you've got? I expected more from the title.



I wanted some heart wrenching story about Square Enix making you waste your life away for Versus XIII, stealing all the hope you have left in your weak body that's already been beaten up from SE releasing ~666 FF XIII games.

But now that you're here, I've already stolen a part of your life.

Front Mission DS kept me happy for a long long time, plus we just got Bravely Default. A bit annoyed Front Mission 2089 didn't localize, but when you see hopw poorly FM DS sold.... :-/ You can see why.

Slightly annoyed at the lack of a Dragon Quest VII localization, but I think it'll come.

Don't care much for FFXIII, it's just a sign for the fall of this giant company.

Actually if I were to be annoyed at anything, it's the lack of FFXV for WiiU. This should have been a PS4/WiiU exclusive not PS4/XB1....

I love how they rig the website for the free ship over $100 deal. Almost every single C.E. is $90 or lower so you get stuck either pre-ordering something else or getting nailed with the fee.

I tried Pre-Ordering something else and it said my order wouldn't be shipped till the 2nd item was released. ARGGGGG

I got Drakengard 3 C.E. on Pre-Order :D

I got two of the three. I didn't find the X/X-2 one to be worth the asking price.
