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.

 


 Rendo where do you live?  I live about a 30min drive outside Toronto and the PS3 came out at $659 it then jumped to $700, it was at this price until about 2 weeks before the price drop then it hit $659 again, then when the price drop hit it went to $549-$559 depending on the store.  The $700 price was at all Canadian stores.
