In surfing around the future shop web site I happened to notice a price hike for certain games of $74.99. I know game prices were raised just last year to $69.99 in Canada and from the looks of it, it’s happening again. Taxes in, it will cost myself a little over 86 dollars for a new release game here in Nova Scotia. Here’s just a handful of games that have been adjusted up thus far.

I presume Best Buy Canada is doing the same since they own Future Shop. EB Games (owned by Gamestop) has also done the same with some of the upcoming games.

In doing a quick google search on it, there was a user on reddit who mentioned this 3 days ago as well.

As of writing this, Amazon.ca has yet to raise the price on any up coming games so if you’re Canadian and looking to pre-order any upcoming PS4/X1 titles, you may want to go through Amazon for the time being. Hard times for the Canadian gamer…
 

That is like the same price the U.S. pays..... 86 Candian dollars = 68.57 U.S. dollars.....

You will pay like 4$ more per game than Americans, not a big deal considering the market is way smaller. Europeans are the ones who are ripped off
