The store is great, I like the new layout. Only one thing makes it not perfect…. when will you stop overcharging canadian gamers on the PS Store?

Hey everyone - thanks for all the (mostly) positive feedback. A couple quick replies.

Regarding Canadian pricing, we have been looking into this and will be adjusting it. We understand the concerns and are looking to correct the discrepancy.

Good, I heard Canadians were getting screwed badly with Ps Store pricing.

we are getting screwed. for example single rockband song in canada costs $3.00 while in the us it costs $2.00

why not just make a us based account and pay that way?

 because you need an american address credit card.  there are services available that can get you a virtual american credit card to use in the store but i don't trust them.  or you can order an american prepaid credit card online, etc. neither option is all that attractive.

Good. There's really no excuse for this when you're dealing with paid downloads.

I guess that's one huge advantage to Wii's points system. 100 Wii Points = 1.00 USD, and you pay that wherever you are based on the current exchange rate. There's none of this bullshit waiting for the whims of the company to change and stop screwing you.

We are currently getting charged an extra 1$ on everything. 1$ when buying Warhawk or GT5:P, not too bad.

1$ extra when buying the 2$ "team mode" to Snakeball makes me not want to buy it,

Also, to buy both Warhawk maps, I would get charged two 1$ surcharges, whereas if they were bundled, only one 1$ surcharge.
