In contrast to the US, Canadians actually got a reasonable price reduction of $100 ($500 to $400) on the priemium XBox 360 bundle which still contains the incentives that Microsoft has been pushing for awhile; and the PS3 dropped from $700 to $550. This was mostly because of a (long due) correction in the prices due to the exchange rate.

 

Incorrect. The PS3 was always $659.99 and it dropped to $559.99. It was never $700. I can attest to that because #1. I am Canadian. #2. I've been to many Canadian retailers and they are ALL that price, at least the big named retailers.

 


 Sorry, but not true.  I live in Québec and when it launched, I've seen the PS3 at 700$ at a lot of places.  As I've seen the Wii increase from 279$ to 289$ in some place some months after the launch, when Wii were no where to be found (And it's still the case here, I haven't seen a single Wii since luanch day in November)
