Video Games Plus (VGP) lists the ANOMALITH [Launch Edition] for PlayStation 5 at CAD $79.99, releasing 12 November 2026. It is the same UK/US Launch Edition, sold by a Canadian retailer in Canadian dollars, and it is currently the clearest third-party listing for the Western disc.
What the listing says
The product page is titled ANOMALITH [Launch Edition] - Playstation 5 (PRE-ORDER) and shows a release date of 12 November 2026 with a price of CAD $79.99. The description lists the Launch Edition's DLC bonus content, including the Lost Property Control Organization collaboration mission.
That matches the NIS America announcement: PS5 only, 12 November, $59.99 in US dollars. VGP is not selling a different product — it is selling the same box in a different currency.
Why CAD $79.99 is not a markup
Canadian prices for games are routinely higher than US prices in raw numbers, because the dollar is worth less. CAD $79.99 against USD $59.99 is roughly the long-standing ratio Canadian publishers use for a $60 US game, not a premium added by the retailer.
We are not publishing a converted figure, because exchange rates move and a stale conversion misleads more than it helps. If you are outside Canada, check what your card charges on the day rather than comparing sticker prices.
Who VGP is, and why it shows up first
Video Games Plus is a Canadian games retailer that specialises in stocking North American releases alongside Asian and Japanese imports. That specialism is why its listings rank for game-name searches: it carries regional variants that mainstream retailers skip.
For ANOMALITH, VGP is listing the Western Launch Edition rather than an Asian import, so the contents are the NIS America set — collaboration mission, outfit sets, three weapons and the consumable packs.
What to confirm before ordering
Four things, in order of how often they go wrong:
- Platform — PS5 only. There is no Xbox, no Switch 2 Western box and no PC disc.
- Date — 12 November, not 28 October. The game launches earlier; the disc does not.
- Edition — Launch Edition, not a standard disc. Some retailers list both.
- Region — a Canadian listing ships a North American box. DLC redemption is region-tied, so a buyer in Europe should expect the bonus items to follow the account region rather than the disc.
Shipping, duty and the real total
The sticker price is not the delivered price. Canadian orders ship domestically; international orders add postage and, depending on the country, import sales tax or a handling fee collected by the carrier.
That matters when comparing VGP against a local retailer: a CAD $79.99 box plus international shipping can land above a domestic $59.99 disc, which is the number most buyers should be comparing against. If VGP is your only route to the Launch Edition in your country, the premium may still be worth it — just budget for the landed cost, not the listed one.
Is there a cheaper route to the same box?
In the United States, NIS America's own store is the primary seller at $59.99, and it is normally the cheapest route if you are in the US. In Europe, local distributors and import shops vary, and availability is the constraint rather than price.
NIS America sells the same box directly in the United States, at $59.99. VGP is the listing that carries a Canadian price and a fixed date for buyers outside the US.
Who should buy from VGP
Canadian buyers, first: it is a domestic order in domestic currency, with no import step. Then collectors outside the US who cannot buy from NIS America directly and want the Western box rather than an Asian import.
Everyone else is usually better served by their regional storefront, or by the Asian package if they want the printed art book that the Western Launch Edition does not include.
How this page stays accurate
VGP lists the box with a fixed date and a Canadian price, and a preorder listing closes when its allocation runs out. The date at the top of this page is when the listing was last checked; confirm the price on the product page before you order.
Ordering from the United States
For US buyers, VGP is rarely the cheapest route. NIS America's own store sells the same Launch Edition at $59.99, and a Canadian order adds cross-border shipping to a price already quoted in a weaker currency.
The exception is availability. If the NIS America store sells out its allocation, an import retailer with stock is worth the premium, and VGP is one of the few that lists the product clearly with a date.
Ordering from Europe
European buyers have the fewest options: no European physical edition has been announced separately from the NIS America run, so a UK or German buyer is importing either the North American box or an Asian one.
Both routes involve customs. VGP ships from Canada; Asian retailers ship from Hong Kong or Taiwan. Which is cheaper depends on your country's import threshold, which is why this page does not quote a landed price.
Cancellations and price changes
Preorder prices at specialist retailers move with exchange rates, and a listing can change between the day you order and the day it ships. VGP's terms, like most Canadian retailers, allow cancellation before dispatch but not after.
Check the price on the product page before you confirm, and screenshot the order confirmation. If the price drops before release, some retailers will adjust and some will not, and the confirmation is what you would need to argue the difference.
Reading a preorder listing correctly
Retailer preorder pages copy the publisher's date, and publishers sometimes change it. The date on the VGP listing matches NIS America's announcement, which is the strongest signal you can get from a third-party page.
If the two ever disagree, trust the publisher and treat the retailer page as stale. That is the same rule we apply to our own pages: the publisher is the source, everything else is a copy.
The CAD $79.99 figure tracks the Canadian dollar rather than the US price, which is why it sits above $59.99 in raw numbers. Buyers outside Canada should budget for shipping on top of the sticker price.
