Importing from America to Canada shouldn't be too expensive. Unless there's import tax or you're using shit like FedEx.

I won't be buying one because I will have to pay crazy amounts in shipping just to get one to NZ. $50 USD in shipping, actually.

Actually I don't think we are, I was gonna slap down a pre-order for one at EB but they said they don't even have it on their computer. Ahh, I hope that changes once the game's actually released though.

It's a couple of weeks away, and it's still not in any computers for EB, and considering it's exclusive to EB/GC/Amazon, and all of those won't ship the item to Canada, yeah, we're probably SOL. It still might show up, but there's no promises. So I'm getting someone to send me one.

You'd be surprised. It's a lot more than you'd think. Granted, part of the problem is the unit's size, and another part is I want it RIGHT AWAY, so it's gonna be pricey.

That's true. I've shipped a lot of Paint Ball and Airsoft equipment accross the border and shipping is a bitch. Especially due to the weight, which I'm guessing that controller is pretty hefty.

I guess there's always E-bay once it comes out too. However I don't want one or Zeal's approval that bad, so screw it.

Yeah, I'd rather be safe than sorry, so I'm willing to part with an extra 50 bucks or so to ship it ASAP. Overnight would probably run a metric fuckload, so I may or may not spring for that. I guess we'll see.

It costs nearly $20 in shipping alone each time I send Skills some Jap game when I come back from Otakon.

You send it priority mail through a courier, though. That's the last thing one wants to do if they're gonna be economical.

Sometimes you have to be willing to pay a premium if you are going to buy specialty items. Of course, you understand this and don't whine about it like other people.

There's nothing even remotely special about sending a game from America to Canada. It's just American post screwing you out of your hard earned Wal-Mart dollars.

The most expensive postage I've paid (game-wise) is $20 for EMS from Japan. Full tracking on two websites and all. Took 5 days. USPS Global Priority for a PS2 game from America is only $7.50 to NZ - whatever's on top of that is profit margin. Try sending him something with the cheapest option and see how long it takes.

So you get a free faceplate if you get the game at Gamestop.

Too bad they all look like ass.

I want them to do the tins with the patches in them again. That was pretty awesome.

Just a heads up, the Flight Stick bundle is indeed going to be available in Canada, through EB games anyway. It's on their computers now, and I had my pre-order changed to it the other day. So yea, Canadians fans who wanted one can now be relieved that they don't have resort to importing.

Yeah, I was just going to post this. It's brand new in the machines.

Thankfully Tails got me my money back. Horray Tails~.

Fucking LATE though wow.

They've still not announced any news about a flight stick over here in the UK. If it wasn't for the incredibly late appearence of the version over in Canada I'd write it off completely, though I still reckon it's not likely.

Given the crazy number of games sat in my 'to play' pile I think I'm going to have to give this one a miss on release, though it is tempting.

wooooooooooooooo

They recorded oversea in London and Bulgaria (there's a huge section written by Kobayashi regarding it) ACE6 ƒI[ƒPƒXƒgƒ‰•ƒ{[ƒCƒYƒNƒƒCƒAŠCŠOŽû˜^ƒŒƒ|[ƒg

I'm excited now. Not much longer until it hits the shelves. I'm going to enjoy shooting down people over Xbox live. D:

OMG! WANT! NOW!

I'm seriously stoked so bad about this game. This is like THE only game I've looked forward to endlessly this year.

I didn't know you were an AC fan, Encep. I'll be sure to shoot you outta the sky many times when I get my 360 and AC6 *grin*

Am I the only person who cringed after reading such a well-written review?

I get the fact that Top Gun is the be all, end all of Fighter Jet action...but for god's sake can these reviewers get fucking over it? Every review puts some inane Top Gun reference in their reviews, it gets so old, so quickly.


And for the average gamer, they prolly don't get or really like why the game is so story driven, so they'll skip it or think it's boring, but if Namco continued doing the shit like they did with Ace Combat 3, the game series would have been over by now.


I was right about the fact that this game will become the 'halo' of Ace Combat. I can see namco putting more planes, more missions into online modes with AC6, just as if it was Halo. I'm not complaining about that either, because it's about time we got online mode.

What.

DLC is a Halo thing now?

Funny, considering there isn't any DLC for Halo.

Well, not the third one, yet. The second one has plenty of map packs though.

Ahahaha, DLC is already OUT.

Couple of paint schemes, a Halloween one for the F-14D (Tomcat), an Active Stripes pattern for the F-15E (Strike Eagle), but the best part, the best part, are the Ace Combat 2 ones.

One is free and features the Scarface emblem/scheme, and the other is a Scarface variant of the F-16C Fighting Falcon, which comes without SP weapons, which is due to the fact that there were no SP weapons in AC2. I can't wait to give that one a shot and see what it's like. There's a bit in there about the armor and a few tidbits being different, but until I get to play with it I can't say a whole lot.

Glad to see Namco isn't forgetting the series' roots.

Karasu dropped this bomb on me and I couldn't believe it. Definitely happy they've still got AC2 on their mind, though you could say it's been there ever since the inclusion of the XFA-27 in ACX.

Hopefully they provide a Z.O.E skin, the original ADF-01 pilot (Falken as its known now). Oh and if they toss some YF-23s with the Fox Force Four's ridiculous pastel colors, make sure to try them out for yogurt colored dogfighting.
