Unless the canadian dollar is smaller than I thought, that's not as good as the amazon price:

AMAZON: PROJECT ARCADE - 20.99 + somewhat free shipping (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0764556169/qid=1078149174//ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i2_xgl14/002-4009817-5384835?v=glance&s=books&n=507846)

Chapters is a Canadian version of Barnes & Noble.  So you pay the cover price there.

Here's the Amazon.ca link with the price.

The problem with buying from the States isn't the exchange it's the duty. We could get hit with 50%-100% in duty charges depending on the courier. Now that internet shopping is becoming more popular I know of many people that won't touch things mailed from the States with a ten foot pole. I'm one of them.
