I am looking at older games (1 year+) for the Mac and there still $70+.

All the Sims expantion packs are $50+. I got Starcraft boxset in 2001 November for $30! So why are games like The Sims and Tony Haek still pricy and not dropping in price?

Where are good places in Vancovuer to find cheap Mac games (new) or mail order real cheap in Canada?

Eletronics Boutique used to sell Mac games but they don't anymore. I could get good deals there. Futureshop doesn't carry Mac games either.

I always say this on the hardware side, but Canada, Mac, and bargain are never found in the same sentence!

I haven't found any either, like the hardware it pretty much stays full price up here.

Cpused (www.cpused.com) sells Diablo II for $19.99.

Your best bet is to go to stores that sell used
PC games and look for hybrid discs like Warcraft
3.

www.cdromshop.com isn't a bad place... I used to shop there for some older (read: OS 9) Mac software back when I had my Pismo. The prices are quoted in USD, but it's actually a Canadian company based in Toronto, so they offer fair a fair exchange and shipping rates for Canada.

Lemme know if what you're looking for is reasonably priced (or even available)--I'm curious myself (but am notoriously lazy to check).
