I live in Canada so it sucks but it makes sense I guess. It's not as if the States are getting it cheaper. If anything we were lucky to be getting it cheaper for the first little bit.


we're getting things more expensive than the conversion
399.99 US is roughly 432 CAN

Currently yeah, but do you blame them for giving themselves a little buffer? It's not like the Canadian dollar has been all over the place lately, it's been consistently shit.

nah our dollar was practicly even with the usd for a bit its bin dropping tho i got the exchange rate thing oepn in the top right orner of my desktop :lol: right now its .901:1
what does suck tho is all the ppl that want a ps4 but couldnt find any in stock to buy... now they gotta apy an extra $50 cuz sony couldnt meet the demand? thats a pretty big dick move
and what the first price drop gonig to drop it back to 399 when the dollar goes back up?bad enough we gotta pay $50 in tax on the 400 but noq another 50 and then the tax on that extra 50

It was even iirc in 2007 and has been dropping since. We are almost at an all time low.
It does suck because I am one of those people but whatever, I can't control the dollar.

It doesn't sound like they are doing that because of supply/demand though. They have been slowly getting paid less and less for a brand new console.

This is a very reasonable thing to do being that they were technically selling it for under MSRP before hand.

nah im saying the people that couldnt buy 1 becasue there was none available to buy they gotta pay an extra $50 now
it was sonys fault the demand wasnt even close to being met and now their upping the price? thats kind of the ultimate fuck you to canada
i bet now there charging extra $50 canada starts getting more in stock they were prob bottlenecking it to see what the dollar drops too and adjust the price

for a while our games were released at $70 when it was $60 in merica but then most games went back to $60. Seems ps4/xbone games are $70 too now


fucking retarded that they actually just uped the price $50 for the console. They could of at least just added a camera or something
