The 500P is a 500 that comes with 1Mb ram (512k chip, I think), and
AmigaVision.  There are no bundled games, like the consumer version.

Each country decides independently what machines it will ship.  I have
no information on the availability of the 500P in Canada.  If you want
the equivalent, purchase an A500, AmigaVision, and an A501.
