It seems to be getting worse here for us Canadians.
Walmart and Best Buy are pretty much ghost towns for new releases, at least in my area. Every single new release that comes out as a Best Buy Steelbook exclusive, they never get any in-store, all sold out with online pre-orders. Walmart for a sliver of time was getting some of the latest Paramount releases, not the Paramount Presents titles though, and even occasionally had some Shout! Factory releases. Not anymore in the last year.
London Drugs has a healthy selection for the most part, but it's way, way overpriced, plus bilingual packaging.
I've been ordering from UV when things go on sale, otherwise I've been stuck with Amazon.com.
Us Canadians are really getting the screw job from distributors and retailers, that's for sure. We're forced to deal with high prices, shipping, customs/duty/import fees, and an exchange rate. Sure making this hobby expensive and unaffordable for a great many of us.
