 This sucks. I've wanted Assault Rigs for the longest time (ever since
it game out on the PSX) and for some reason, it has yet to show up in
Canada. Wipeout and  Destruction Derby took an extremely long time to
show up here too. All made my Py..... I'm not even going to try and

Metal. I really want that game too! Or has it already shown up in the
US?
