Forums - Sony Discussion - Canadian PS4 now 450$ ??

It appears they raised the price for the PS4 in Canada to 450$, I'm glad I got mine for 399$. I'm just not sure why they would raise the price....

The Canadian dollar is on a steady decline compared to the US dollar.  If it doesn't reverse course, it's only a matter of time before everything follows suit.



As currency declines businesses need to reevaluate the price points or they will lose money upon currency exchange. The interesting thing is that while they will revalue when the currency declines, they hardly ever do it when it increases.



Great decision, Sony.



It's the "because they can" effect.

Well if you look at the xbone Titanfall bundle, it would cost you more for a PS4 with a game in Canada.



450 canadian dollars trades to 405.844 usd topic can be closed now....



What's more annoying is that they are beginning to price games at $69.99 CAD, which is $63.31 USD.

If only seen some at CAD 64.99 ($58.65) so far, but also still have games from early last gen that were CAD 69.99



Every currency in the world isn't valued at the same? God damn Sony, what have they done.

Should point out that here in Ireland some games cost 70euros now which is far higher than the USD equivilent, just gotta deal with the country you live in, some things are cheaper some more expensive.
