You can have your local GameStop request it from the distribution center now. A couple of weeks ago, I went into a GS store that was a bit out of the way and thus I usually don't visit, and found they had two SEs (one for each system). I asked about the TEs, they checked and found another story a couple of states away that had it, called that store thinking of asking them to ship it, and was told to just request it. I put in a request, and about a week or so later, I had a X360 TE waiting for me to be picked up. Didn't even have to put any money down to request it either. I don't know if it applies to the Canadian EB stores, but it's worth a try.
As for a dual-mod with the PS3 TE being the starting point, it's definitely doable and doesn't seem to be too much of a hassle provided you can solder, but the 360 w/ MC Cthulhu does have other advantages such as PS2 BC and ability to work with a lot of older systems. The reason I bought the 360 version for my second TE even though I'm going PS3 for all multi-platform fighters is that I wanted to get it for TvC on Wii and some older PS2 games.
