Where Can I Buy MSTS in Canada?

I'm at my wit's end trying to find MSTS in Canada. It used to be at most of the PC stores about a year or so ago, but now, absolutely nowhere. Future Shop doesn't even list it on their website anymore. I spoke to someone at MS about 4 months ago, and obviously she was in the States, because she couldn't give me a straight answer. I live in Ottawa (pop. about 1 million), and I can't find it anywhere. MS's online store won't even ship here to Canada, for some stupid reason. Help!! Paul Cummings

That's kind of odd that even Future Shop doesn't have it.You may have to buy it from somewhere in the States then (like ebworld.com), but I would keep looking. In a city the size of Ottawa there has to be a store somewhere that has it. Even if it's not on shelf they may be able to order in a copy for you.Good luck

Hi Paul,There are a few copies at Compusmart, not far from the Costco off Merivale Road. I was there two nights ago, and saw 2 copies. Future Shop hasn't carried MSTS in about 6 months, so, it is getting harder and harder to find as its lifespan extends into year 2. If nothing turns up there, you can also try any of the EB Games stores, either at Carlingwood, Rideau Centre, or Place D'Orleans.Cheers,

Thanks guys for a quick response. This is what I can't understand about getting a lot of products in Canada. Obviously something like MSTS is/was popular, as it's very hard to find it now. Even RadioShack is sold out at most stores. My question is, if it's still popular, why aren't these stores ordering more of the damn thing in??
I've asked at numerous stores to order it for me, and they say once it's out of stock, that's it! Strange way of doing business...<rant mode off, for now>

Oh, I tried Walmart too. Their selection of software is a piece of crap! Don't forget, I'm referring to the Canadian stores now;-)How many stores do business up here is, they order stock, once they're out, they don't order again.

CostCo is the new Tony Graham Lexus Dealership...actually, it's practically right next to the CN Line running through Nepean (Not the VIA/CN line) Ummm...It's been a while for me too, but it's on the same side of the road As Merivale H.S. and The Bell Arena. Edit: It used to be the Price Club

I wanna highball it through Woodstock, Ont. on none other than...THE TURBOTRAIN!!!
