Forums - Gaming Discussion - This really grinds my gears

I was thinking about buying an X Box 360 gaming console which i heard costs $350 dollars so I thought thats not too bad. So I went online to www.ebgames.ca and see that in Canada it would cost me $400!

What bothers me about this whole predicament is that in Canada our dollar is CURRENTLY better than in the USA. Why should I have to pay $50 bucks more for a system?

Currently 1 Canadian Dollar is worth 1 dollar and 1 cent American. This is and injustice! But when I checked PS3 prices they are the exact same in Canada and in USA.

Canadian Site: http://ebgames.ca/    Prices are listed on the page

American Site: http://www.ebgames.com/search.asp?N=141+83  Prices are listed

PS3 costs the same in Canada and in America.

Can anyone tell me why you have to pay the extra $50 bucks for a 360 in Canada, but not for a PS3??
