In my experience ordering many books from Amazon, in stock items take 2-3 days to get to my door from the ordering date.

Both PST and GST apply.
Or HST... whatever province you are from, all taxes included. They don't include $1 extra like newegg.ca, they ship from Mississauga, Ontario.
There is no taxes on Amazon Marketplace (depending on seller is in USA/International or Canada), but it includes shipping (amazon.ca's over $39 free shipping does not apply.)

When you trade in games, do they give you instore credits or cash?
I'm probably only going to buy this game, beat it to watch the cinematics and then trade it in anyways. Kinda like a rental, except I'm making money off of it. :razz:

For those that don't have anything to add for free shipping you can just price match this at Futureshop or Bestbuy. Since this is an Amazon sale they will only match the price rather than beat the price (10% of the difference). If you want the price beating as well they'll charge you for next day shipping. I was able to get this for $24.99 at Futureshop in Calgary.

technically speaking they're supposed to tack-on the s/h charge on top of amazon's price and then 110% PB

Not sure if this is good or bad... But... Was gonna buy it... but since it's sold out... saves me money ;P Guess I'll have to see if they re-stock and see if the temptation comes back =p

Says you.
This game is not a first person shooter, its an RTS (like command and conquer or world in conflict)
There have been a lack of good RTS since Warcraft 3.

I've heard its simplistic, much more like War3.
So if you like the old RTS, you'll probably like Halo wars. I personally didn't like the later versions of Command and Conquer.
Complexity is fine on PC, but simplicity does have a certain charm on Xbox. Yes - I'm the sort of guy that likes tower defense with pretty explosions ;)
