I think I'll cancel mine too (unless someone from Australia wants it) and pick up the standard CE instead.

EDIT: Brandon, those tax prices are insane, first the US adds it's tax, then it seems you get slugged again!

In a way, I love it here in Australia, the price you see is the price you pay, no additional taxes.

Yeah there is an issue with that one. I tried to change mine for him as well and it would not work, I even tried changing to to my other address and it would not let me so it was something wrong with the system.

Glad they came back up for him to snag one.

Amazon is collecting tax in about half the states now. Luckily mine is not one, BUT they collect for where it is shipped and not where it is paid for (this does not make sense to me as where the money comes from should be the place taxed or not).

The taxes/duties/import fees are beyond silly. But it's also the currency conversion right now. Our dollar is the lowest it's been in a long time. Normally we're about a nickel->dime or so off from the USD, but we're sitting at nearly a quarter off at the moment and it's making buying anything from just across the border totally unmanageable.

I think the universe is conspiring against me on this one. I just wasn't meant to have it.

I'm probably just going to have to watch your unboxing video and live vicariously through you.

For reference, when I was getting this during the E3 promo, my total for it was $130CAD, so grabbing that one from Amazon.com has literally doubled my intended investment. Hoping for a miraculous spike in the Canadian dollar right around release day to make this dream come true.

Thanks for your help though guys, I appreciate it.

I think it looks awesome. We get stickers in ours, they got actual woven patches. I would've liked to have had access to this one. That box alone is a great display piece.
