My What?
What are my chances of still finding the Collectors Edition of GT5 in my local game stores? The websites for these stores(Best Buy, Future Shop, etc) aren't showing that they are selling the collectors edition anymore, only the normal version, so what are my chances of actually finding one?
 
Here in Ontario? The only place that carried the CE in Canada was Gamestop, and while it's no longer available online, use the store availability check and you'll see most places still have copies in stock. I'm sort of near Toronto and all 5 of the closest results to me have a copy (which isn't surprising - my local store had a few come in on release day, but I was literally the only person who had pre-ordered a copy!)
 
I'd say it's not impossible. I don't live in Canada but I'd imagine it's all the same. Give the stores a call (most of my surrounding stores are never up to date) or eBay and online sites might have some still new otherwise it's gonna be second hand craigslist or something like that. You might want to go to a couple of your local...or distant.. Game shops and see what they can do for you. I managed to get ahold of a new collectors edition of forza 3 last year at a gamestop from Iowa. I live in Kansas. Really surprised gamestop went out of there way on that so depending on the person you might be surprised.

I'm down by Niagara Falls, I'll give that a try, thanks. I was hoping to find it cheaper, $148 on Amazon is ridiculous.
 
eBay? Trying to remember if there were extra DLC cars specific to the Collector's Edition though. Also any stores that sell used games, but you would have to be very lucky. Way back when I wanted to buy FFVIII for the PS1 I found a limited box set with a few other goodies, nearly new, for the same price as a standard new copy, and recently sold it on eBay for about 5 times the price :)

Ebay and Amazon want way to much, I was hoping local stores would have it, because like I said it would probably be cheaper. I tried seeing if GT5 CE is in stock at any of my local stores, but I can't enter my Zip code to find out if it is, it only accepts American zip codes... Oh and I already have a copy of the included Apex book, but mine doesn't have the car list included in it, the book included in the CE claims it has the car list included, my question though is it really worth it? I already have the book and the normal version of the game, but not the key chain(not that big of a deal) the model GT-R, or the DLC Chromeline cars, so?
 
If you're by Viagara Falls, I'd check to see what they have across the border in NY.
You can probably get everything separate on eBay for a relatively cheap price.

I couldn't find the DLC cars on ebay, and something like that would be the last thing I would considering getting off Ebay, I checked and there are 3 close to me, one is 10 miles away, and the others are over an hour away, that is just in the states though. I'm out all day tomorrow so I was hoping to pick it up in Canada.
 
Saw it yesterday at my local store
 
I guess I'll check my local EB Games out tomorrow, I'll now have to decide if I really want it or not:p
 
Weird - the Gamestop.ca site accepted my postal code fine (with a space). Sure you weren't shipped off to the US one? It's still $100, mind.

I'm under the impression the DLC cars are null and void now, however, I've read elsewhere they expired after a certain amount of time. I'd double-check on my own voucher if I could find it...
