It seems to me the capital investment required to produce and distribute large international inventories of boxed sets is probably not within the current means of such a tightly-budgeted, government-auditted company, working to get back in the black.
But they are already making the boxed sets, and I'm sure that some will make their way to Canada/US... the problem (in my eyes) is that the large consumer chains don't carry them. Geeks like me order online or join the club, but Joe non-linux-user buys his games and his printer cartridges at Best Buy or Future Shop. He doesn't have linux, but he's heard that it's cool, and he has a VISA Gold card in his pocket. This is the type of revenue that would not be tapped any other way... he doesn't shop online, he's never heard of the club, and his linux purchase was not premeditated. I remind you that Canadians/Americans love to buy things... we're trained from birth.
