| Acevil said: Okay I can fill in this one.... what is happening is that the Canadian Dollar is now not on par with the United States dollar. Some companies have added 5 Dollars. Sony has added 10 dollars. Some time next year, all games should be $10 higher, like the start of generation of the last generation.
The Price of Infamous Second Son in Canada should be be 66.41 CAD compared to the 59.99 USD. However 69.99 is what the rounded up price is, and 64.99 is the rounded down price.
All companies will do this in the long run, unless some companies decide to establish Canadian Specific price strategy. |
This. Canada is somewhat socialistic meaning they try to keep everyone somewhat equal in terms of quality of life. Problem being that some people are more motivated and have a larger drive to be successful than most lazy f**ks. The government has to use social programs to help the needy and lazy. Sometimes they print off money to help those in need rather than raising taxes on the hard workers. If you have a $100 economy and print off $10 to bring the economy to $110... If a man had $10 before they printed money, his $10 is essentially worth $9 now. Get it? Don't blame Sony. Blame your government. Free market is the way to go. If you have dreams, chase the mofos without worrying about high taxes. If you want to be a lazy ass. Good for you. It all comes down to who wants it more. This is what has always made America so great.
