Well it hasn't yet but it will soon enough which will affect most games and when it does, $60 games which are already $70 will be $75 for consoles and I am sure the handheld games prices will also be going up so I have to keep in mind all the spending that I will have to do throughout the year and not just when it releases. And of course, when you add the tax, it just goes to nonsense ville completely

Doubt it. Our prices have been the same for years. Even when our doollar was doing far better and oours was higher than the US it made no difference. Even when it has been much lower it still didn't change. 

It has consistently be 5 bucks more for a long time, not including taxes oof course.



Lol what? No it hasn't been the same for years... Early last year, the prices for games went up $5-$10 due to the weak dollar... Do you even know what the dollar is at right now? Its at 0.79 cad to 1 US... That is super low hence the price increase and it has been low for over a year now and the price is going up even further from $70-$75 for console games and handheld will probably get the same treatment since it was $40 for handheld games in 2013 and in 2014, it was $45 and now, it will probably be even more. And all that is excluding taxes

Are you sure you even live in Canada cause you should have noticed the price hike easily
