    Hey folks, just got my copy of DP in the mail on friday, had to order it from some ebay store in Manitoba.  I'm curious, has anyone seen it on shelves in Canada?  I've tried all the major Toronto area chains and they don't seem to have it, and Amazon,ca , Bestbuy.ca , and , Futureshop.ca don't seem to list it on their sites either.

    I've seen it many times actually... I was tempted to buy it. So I stopped going out in order to hide those feelings.

    I live in Manitoba, and I'm pretty sure I've seen it, although I can't think of where.

    I bought my copy of deadly premonition brand new from a future shop, it was on the shelves, and I live in a smaller city in BC, so it must be available on shelves in Toronto.

    You can always ask Shane Bettenhausen on twitter. But he's apparently at coachella right now so it might not be a good time.

    Ended up getting mine via an ebay store in Manitoba, I think Toronto stores underestimated the irresistible draw of Deadly Premonition.

    Really?  I will now halt all my leisure activities and run them through you just to make sure I'm not doing anything you would disaprove of.  This is a valuable service you're providing.

    It's being sold everywhere but most stores probably only picked up a few copies.

    Future Shop has it
     
    I bought it there as no other store had it and by the time I pull it up from the US I'm already paying a little extra (more if I get dinged duty by some asshole customs agent).

    Picked up mine from EB Games/Gamestop store in Mississauga. It was behind the counter and not on display so you may have to ask clerk for it.

    I snagged my copy at a Futureshop in Edmonton. 
     
    Then I noticed several copies at a brand new Gamestop that opened in West Edmonton Mall.  Managed to convince a couple friends to buy them, now they wont stop berating me for my so-called terrible taste in games.
     
    They just dont know beauty when they see it.  Although using the word beauty to describe Deadly Premonition probably isnt the wisest.

    I saw some copies at a Wal-mart in Mississauga, looked like they maybe had 4-6 copies on their shelf.  Since they're such a massive store they can afford to carry so many damned games, even if it's just a few copies of each one.  
     
    Just look at the deluge of shitty Wii games they stock.

     first game I picked up was deadly premonition. It's the only reason I bought the console.

    obviously a system seller to some people, it's one of the coolest exclusives on 360. 
    hopefully it comes to ps3 (US and Eur).

    I saw copies in my wal-mart, so they definatly sell it up here. It's not like this is a big game... or even a significant game, so it's not like it's going to be everywhere.

    Hold on, you bought a 360 just because of Deadly Premonition!? Looking at other posts seems like Endurance Runs are great marketing tools.

    i saw a couple of Future Shops in Montreal having copies. What fascinates me was that the art insert is bilingual, meaning that someone took the trouble of translating it in French :o

    I did the same thing. Actually I bought DP before even owning a 360. I just bought my 360 yesterday and I have had my copy of DP kicking around for a week or two.

    Well, I'd buy an Xbox 360 to play it but I don't have $226 lying around to buy an arcade model. Either I import it for the PS3 or I wait for a North American PS3 release that probably won't ever occur. Or maybe the arcade model  will be selling for $129 sometime again. I'd like to be able to say I own all 3 consoles; I have the PS3 and the Wii at this time.
     
    No matter how horrid the game looks and plays, its quirkiness has a lot of appeal to me.

    Vancouver-area EBs have it. Probably not on shelves though, so you'll have to ask the clerks. When I bought my copy, the manager told me that they've been having trouble keeping Deadly Premonition in stock thanks to the low price point and "the word getting out". Take that as you will!
