Prices will drop eventually. You can't use the current exchange rate since the tanking US dollar is fairly recent. Think back a few years when the Aussie buck was nearly half that of the greenback. The prices dropped in Canada and games and system's now sell at par. The Xbox 360 was the last holdout and dropped to par less than a month ago. The PS3 has been at par for 6months or so. The PS2 debuted in Canada at 449.99 back in 2000 when the same system was 299.99 in US.
