That's not a $50 increase. Even on launch day it was $279. The $249 price is in the U.S. Plus you can't count taxes as part of the price. At least you live in Alberta so you don't have any provincial taxes on top of that.
I'll admit though that it does suck that a $249 (U.S.) console is $289 in Canada with the dollar almost being at par. It's the same thing with the PS3 ($600 vs. $700). Oh well, at least we're not getting as shafted as the Europeans and Aussies.

WRONG!
When i got my Wii on launch day it cost me $279.99(i live in Calgary, Alberta BTW).
Sony rasied the launch price of the 60 GB PS3 here from $659.99 tp $699.99, 40 bucks, be glad NOC did not rasie the price on us.
Don't complain so much about the price, in Mexico it costs I think 4,700 pesos, I think that's about 450 dollars... Imagine how much the PS3 costs there...
