LOL....I love how everyone bashed the PS3 price and nobody thought that maybe its due to the value of their dollar dropping but with the Wii increase nobody cares.

I've heard the similar things for the ps3. But EBgames or someother more gaming focused company owned by Best Buy dudes will have the actual retail price. The higher price is there to attract non-gamers since they'll think pricier equals better equipment.

So when the PS3 price was raised at Bestbuy/FutureShop is was "OMG SONY RAISED THE PS3 PRICE!" Now that Wii price was raised at the same store, people finally believe the canadian dollar dropped?

You really do not understand, do you?

It was at ~0.90 when the Wii and PS3 were released.
