Sounds like you're being the greedy one lol jkk

I'm actually surprised we're getting it for that low and that Sony is nice enough to round down, that's not very common at all. You'd be surprised how many products we get that rounds up and screws us. 

For instance the new iPhone SE is $399US but its $599CAD for us!  Conversion dollar $399US = $526...that's greedy Apple for you...Sony would've charged the iPhone SE to $499 lol.  So ya Sony is looking out for us Canadians :)

Well XBSX is $499 USD and $599 CAD is it not? Does MS not understand numbers and conversion? Well based on their console naming scheme's...

Getting screwed all the time sucks already, but when PS4 did the $100 gap for a time, and now XBSX, why wouldn't SNY do it again? Mostly because Canadians will just politely go along with it. Also because it's launch so what early adopter is going to complain?

It's not the best, but not the worst. It's also why I also pointed out Canada itself is part of the problem. A little more currency value would be nice.

I'm not saying anything against Xbox....  

Sure would be nice if it was $599 too. But wonder if maybe because its a Japanese product that there's more additional cost to it that Canada has implemented recently? Who knows.

The point is that Sony (and MS too) have priced it less than the conversion in which most cases I usually it get rounded up when other companies do so.  So just be glad that it's less is all I'm saying. 

I miss gen 7 when our consoles and games were the same price as the US, but that was when our dollar was around the same or even higher than the US at one point.  Now our dollar sucks again -_-
