I didn't know they had VII in the store :o

Think I just might buy that along with some Rock Band songs, now that they FINALLY have PSN cards in Canada...

Yea, seems as though only EB Games has them but that's all good. Wolfenstein 3D was a lot of fun to play again. Didn't think it would be so popular.

And yea Morreale, seems sorta obvious, just hinting to Sony that I would buy more if they opened up :P
