They brought in Harry Potter, The Piano & a few others over the last 2 weeks. The catch is they're $68 Cdn. Honestly what the hell is that. Do they honestly think someone really would pay over $40 for anything. This isn't Criterion products we're talking about. But I do find it interesting to see a shop showing this much interest in bringing hard to get titles for those willing to pay.

Can't someone just order Harry Potter from the UK direct. What is the best place to do that and what would it cost in CDN dollars with shipping etc.?

So that's what... about $2 and change in American dollars?

That is interesting. I'm going to check our local HMV to see whether they're doing the same. Not too far in price from what Future Shop is selling Children of Men for - $54.95! :eek:
