Hey, so I live in Canada and I'd like to get back into gaming after going on a relative gaming hiatus (except for the odd PC game). I'm wondering about prices however, I realize that the Canadian loonie only just overtook the U.S. greenback, but how long will it take to see the games even out? I also realize much produce is bought well ahead of time, but even accounting for that, I shouldn't be waiting more then a year to see gaming price drops right? I mean, they can't be buying these games more than a year in advance. :P If anybody can help me understand this issue/how long it might take for prices to go down, let me know! Thanks.

Cheers.

Well good games take longer to drop but yeah, probably a year is a good time to wait. I've seen people selling RFOM online for around 40 bucks. Other launch games that aren't that good have been around the 25 to 30 dollar range. Is the loonie the slang for canadian currency? I think I heard one of my Canadian friends mentioning it before and i thought it sounded interesting.

The loonie is the Canadian one dollar coin.
