It's now available in Canada.

Why does it take so long for some of these items to be made available to us Canaidans?

It's only CAD$35-38 off the current exchange rate when applied to SRP of $250. That's not too bad. Future Shop, despite their advertising claims, are not noted for their prices. Just like their parent, Best Buy. They sell everything at MSRP (or higher). Even stuff that looks like it's been run over by a car or thrown out a window and then re-boxed gets only a marginal discount (like 10%)

Anyway, at that price I'd pay the full amount directly to Rio in the US. That way they'd see a much bigger piece of the US$250 instead of the US$100-150 they must sell it to distribution for.
