Where would one buy Lock On this days if you're in Canada? I've been hunting for the in-store hidden away box copies for ages now with no luck.

Online I haven't faired better. BestBuy.ca and Futureshop have no record. UBI's Canada site has no store...

I can't actually remember having seen a Lock On in the shelf at any time up here.

I got mine at EB Games. The great thing about that store is that they will buy back used games so if they dont have a new copy you might have a chance to buy a used one for even less!

I bought mine at CompuSmart here in Calgary. The only one that had them though was the South store location. They had about 8 copies (thats 1.5 months ago). Here is the funny part though... 7 of the 8 copies were priced at 19.99 and one was priced at 14.99. All identical... so I bought the 14.99 copy! LOL. I still dont know why I even bothered to look at each copy on the shelf.. they were stacked from front to back and I went through each one for some reason!

Haha yeah I tend to do that. Some sort of Irish trait or something for me...whatever \:\)

There used to be a Compusmart over this way but it went out of business. I'll keep hunting methinks. Thanks anyways.

I think that was US only. UBI doesn't seem to have a Canadian store although I'm sure they ship to Canada the price skyrockets.

Also, Amazon.com is the same problem. Amazon.ca is the place I have to go and the price is just not comperable at all: http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0...3839231-2252353

Far too expensive. Its gotta be around for cheaper...$14.99 US should be $19.99 Cdn.

See I keep hearing the rumors about those $9.99 Staples bargins but everyone around in my area must be jet sim fans because they are never in the areas stores.

I knew I had found a gem, there was only one copy, and two copies of lL-2fb (vanilla) on the bargin rack. I think your best bet will be EB, but sometimes places like Zellars and Radio Shack also have good stuff (not usually). Staples had a Bfg 6600-gt oc for $309, while I see our Future shop has their 9800p's back up to $399 (I bought mine a year ago for $299 :rolleyes: ).

Saw it at CompUSA yesterday. You may try their online store as well.
