Deus Ex (2000) - a game that pushes the boundaries of what the video game medium is capable of to a degree unmatched to this very day.

Ok this is getting ridiculous. Black Ops 3 is going to be $79.99 as well. Looks like this is the new base price for new video games in Canada, guys. Smoking crack is a cheaper addiction. I'd be better off spending $80 on Vaseline to help myself prepare for how much they are fucking us fml

Just wait until E3. Last year Amazon had a promotion that if you pre-order 3 games or more every game would be 30% off. I'll probably just pre-order all my games then since Amazon doesn't charge you until the product ships.

That would be a great idea if I wasn't so against pre-ordering but I agree, for the rest of our fellow Canadians, that is a much better deal.

Like the good part of shipping through Amazon is that you don't have to put any money down until the game ships and you can cancel it any moment you want (unless it has already shipped).

Honestly, we're due for a game price MSRP increase. They upped the price to $60 ten years ago. That's now just as valuable as ~$70. Would be shocked to see no one try for $70 next generation.

Wouldn't surprise me. Maybe then I'll complain less about $80 in Canada lol

I saw that Star Wars Battlefront was also $80 on Amazon a while back, which equals to about $65 USD. Although Uncharted 4 and Halo 5 are still listed at $70.

My northern neighbors are having price trouble again with games? Well that sucks, hopefully it doesnt get worse o.o

Oh well, when the dollar will go back to parity the price will probably stay inflated but when it goes down hurry up and raise those prices lol. At that price I'll probably wont buy any game at launch.
