    Or do we have to order the box with code and wait for 3-5 days shipping?
    It seems Amazon.ca, Best Buy and EB Games has DU on for pre-sale at $39.99 which brings it in at $10 less than Origin. However they are all shipping boxes which won't ship until Friday. I was hoping to play this weekend.

      I bought mine from cdkeys.com for $44 CND and they've already provided me with the activation key so I can download it from Origin tomorrow (by using a VM).

      I have heard that sometimes Origin doesn't let you use CDKeys codes. Also it is still more than 39.99 (41.98 with GST). In that case I will order with free shipping or wait until it in store(if that actually happens)

      I've used cdkeys here before and it worked fine, but yeah usually I won't as for Canadians the price is usually more origin.

      In Canada the price for an EP on Origin is about $60 CND (I think a bit more). Personally I'm fine with paying $3 more from CDKeys to get an authentic activation code so I can download the game the moment it is released than having to wait days for a physical box to arrive, but that's just me.

      Pretty much $51.99 plus tax cost bit more than $60 I agree I rather have code now then wait plus pay shipping witch cost just much too if lucky shipping be free. still, amazon cost as much as origin does.

      I ordered with Amazon Prime - total was 41.99 with GST free shipping it will be here next week Monday and that is fine. for $12.50 savings it won't kill me to wait. Then my mods should be mostly updated.

      Hopefully the code works for a download as the new laptop didn't come with a dvd player. I could use the old one to upload if needed I guess

      Well I know I’m not Canadian, but do you have Instant-Gaming there ? You can get the EPs, GPs and SPs for less expensive. They send you a code that you add on origin.

      I know the feeling. From 2014 to 2018 all I could buy was the Expansion Packs, it was very limited. But once I was finally able to purchase the
      Gamepacks & Stuff Packs it became better. I was overwhelmed by it all & began to purchase monthly by theme.
