I know that Amazon.ca does, and I actually just verified my order and despite Amazon still listing the "other" sellers primarily, it will be shipping tomorrow (yay!).

If you meant Amazon.com (in either cases, it's the one I meant for "not shipping" here), everytime I tried placing an order for video games on amazon.com or on .co.jp, it doesn't accept the order and says it cannot be shipped to my location. Really is a shame, I really wanted eXceed2nd Vampire REX off of amazon.co.jp, but it doesn't ship outside Japan and the only reliable store I know and use for Doujin imports don't have it :/

Yeah, my tracking info still says Acceptance, which aparently means it hasn't even started shipping. I may just go with Game Stop next time, though rather than Pre-Ordering, I'll just hunt it down through the city.

Agreed, though Bamco has finally thrown us bone.

Also, I know that stores in Alberta had it by Thusday, because a friend bought it. I was so Jealous! XI

Yeah, Bamco has finally caught on to where their audience is, after dicking around with the Tales series for so many years. 2 Tales games in one year (one in NA, too). Can't wait! White Knight Chronicles 2 is coming too (confirmed on the EU Blog, not for NA yet). I loved the first one (788 hours clocked), but they implemented speed-fixes, combat and class tweaks, avatar knights and quests and graphical upgrades for the 2nd.

THAT is probably my most anticipated game for 2011. Its basically a free MMO, without all of the irritating social or overly-grindy elements with a SP component and no monthly fee. So much value, in this age of on disc DLC and screwing the consumer at every turn.

My copy came yesterday actually. Has anyone else gotten theirs in?

If not, then it's a 180 from the Neptunia fiasco (where I seemed to be the last person to get my copy) XD

Yep, Canadian resident here, just FYI. Also, my copy wasn't missing anything. Apparently a certain part has been excluded from certain orders, so keep your eyes peeled...Not that you'd fail to notice something missing, of course XD

Box opens exactly the same as Neptunia, but I got this one open with no wear that I can see (my Neptunia box has small white marks on the flap where the color scraped off a bit).

Artbook was pretty stiff.

The OST (in a standard loose paper slip with plastic window) has 42 or 43 tracks I think? A lot of the later ones are like 20 seconds though. iTunes detected the track listing fine, as far as I can tell.

Calendar is a bit risque, but not so much that you'd have to hide it, I think, unless you live somewhere where "Sex is a sin" or something like that (in which case you'd also have to hide your game XD) Runs from April 2011 to March 2012 (lists all of the 2012 months on one page after that). Not as big as I hoped (same width of standard wall calendars, but not as tall).

Question for you Shadow, was there a C.O.D. import fee that you had to pay? Or did they just drop the package off to your home/ apartment? Oh, just thought of another question :) When did you order? Mine didn't ship till the 16th.

Nope. Didn't get any duty for this or Neptunia actually. I heard Canadian customs doesn't do that anymore, and this suggests that the claim is true. They just dropped it in the mailbox (though it would stick out a fair bit unless you have a big one XD).

Sweet! Tax free ftw! Thanks for the info. Amazon.com is apparently being investigated for their lack of taxation, as they're not a physical store. If they start charging, I may just have to bite the bullet, deal with the longer shipping times and order from NISA after all >_>
