So, what's the reason for stuff to be so expensive in Canada? Still cheaper than Australia though as there's no bundle so that's $760 without the game. |
Apple (and apparently now Sony) are profiteering then. Microsoft is generally slightly cheaper, and sometimes significantly cheaper in Canada. For example, the regular price of an Xbox Live subscription is $59.99 in Canada ($45.77 USD at the current exchange rate). The red Gears of War 2TB Xbox One S console is $449.00 CAD at the Microsoft Store, the equivalent of $342.63 USD. A Groove music pass is $99.90 CAD, the equivalent of $76.23 USD (vs. the $99 USD Microsoft charges in the U.S.).
So Canada is a good deal, or a bad deal, depending on which manufacturers, and which storesl, you're patronizing.
As for Australia, remember that Australian prices generally include sales taxes, and Canada/U.S. prices are almost always advertised at a pre-tax price. You generally have to remove VAT from the Australian price to do anything close to a fair comparison.
