They hate the Canadids. Rally your hockey sticks and gather jars of maple syrup and assualt the tryanical Futureshop!

LOL, im canadian, I dont play or listen to hockey, I also dont use maple syrup :P.

A pretty lousy Canadian!

The hockey I can forgive, but... You got some kind of medical condition where you can't drink tree blood?

On topic, yeah, Future Shop's software selection is dodgy at the best of times. No VC, no MGS4, NSMBW sold out. I did manage to find enough decent Wii games to take advantage of the 3 for 2 deal, though. How did I live this long wihout Muramasa?

lol, no it strange, its just that I prefer normal table syrup.

It is the exact same in the US mate. I imagine all big box retailers are like that. Although, infamous and killzone should be in stock normally, but probably are sold out due to holiday demand. Sony is generally pretty terrible at keeping popular games in stock, at least here in the states, I don't know about other places.

Wrong. When the Best Buy deal was going on, I went and they had sold out of Uncharted 2 and another game that I wanted that to do the buy 2 get 1 free deal. The guy told me to come back in a few hours, I came back tomorrow and BAM, a bunch of uncharteds.

Yeah I agree with you. There are still some PS3's at 399.99.

Who's the best Pac, Nas, and Big. Just leave it to that.

I don't get why the prices are different from USA to Canada

The Canadian Dollar is weaker than the US dollar.

right now it's getting close to par, but that's bad for Canada :(

So I went at my local Futureshop today (Futureshop is owned by Bestbuy and is exactly the same). Futureshop is Canada's largest consumer electronics retailer.

They have this Buy 2 get 1 free deal on all games at 69,99$ or less.

I go in the PS3 section (which is half the size of the 360 one btw) and I can't find anything of what I went for.

No Killzone 2 nor InFamous. Oh and they don't have Valkyria Chronicles, Demon's Souls or, you know, anything that could make the PS3 sale... Of course they have games like Genji, Haze and Lair but come on.

Is it the same everywhere else in Canada?

Oh yeah and the PS3 is 349,99$ here.

I ended up buying Prince of Persia, Red Alert 3 and Tomb Raider Underworld for a total of 40$. I tried PoP and I like it a lot so far.

What you bought is better than what you went in for. Exception being Valkryria Chronicles and Tomb Raider (but TR is still ok, just weakest of the reboot trilogy).

Red Alert 3 is pretty amazing how well they did the controls.

I only tried Prince of Persia so far and I must say I regret waiting to play this game. Although it's very repetitive, I just can't get bored of playing it.

I always wanted Tomb Raider. I don't really know why.

I didn't really wanted Red Alert 3 but I bought it since Dead Space was not there. I sure will try it and hopefully I'll like it.
