Do those include tax?

Because European prices would be equal to 100CAD

No, without tax (since it would vary between provinces/territories

Tax could range from 5% -13%

Nova Scotia HST tax is 15% :(

Actually its happening because of the low oil price thanks to uncle sam, your ''ally''

1. The US and Canada have worked together to increase oil production in areas like Alberta and North Dakota
2. Demand for oil fell, particularly in China, compared to supply which had been large part of driving costs up
3. OPEC refused to reduce production to keep prices up as did not wish to lose market share

How did the US engineer this anymore than Canada, Russia, China, Iraq, Venezuela or Saudi Arabia did?

Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!

Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)

To be honest,for people in Canada these prices are affordable in my opinion...Am I wrong?
