"This Is The One" should finally be available in Canada.

Originally, according to HMV's site, they had posted that TITO would be available May 12, the same time as the American release.

After this, the same HMV page began to show HMV stores slowly get stocked, starting with stores in Ontario and Quebec, and then slowly over the next couple weeks, spread west across the rest of the country. Shortly after May 12 came and went, HMVs site eventually updated with a new release date.

All stores across the country showed stock, but after checking a few local shops, they were not on shelves yet - not until the new release date: June 23, 2009.

June 23 was just this Tuesday, so theoretically its available now! ... but I have not had a chance to go check the shops myself yet and buy my copy.

Other Canadian stores also show the same release date and listing on their websites: Future Shop BestBuy HMV



So not much of an exciting release ... no real promo ... so Canadian fans ... get out there and make a splash!
