Will games soon be 90$? I'm betting on it.

Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Man - feel sorry* for all Canucks. Gaming is actually really cheap down here in the glorious USA compared to most places in the world. Do you live near the border? You could drive over and buys games here.

I swear if we go any lower we will further rot into irrelevancy as a world power just like Russia after annexing Crimea ...

Damn how I wish I could've bought some USD earlier ...

That doesn't help one bit when the issue is exchange rates ...

You'd still have to pay about $80 CAD just to get the $60 USD game so still fucked in the end no matter where we go ...

Man, as if games in Canada weren't expensive enough.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

When was Canada a world power? It only has a little over a 35 million population and it's miliatary isn't anything great either.
