Why are we still paying $69.99 for games in Canada???

why? now that Canadian and US currencies are equal everything should drop in price including games and even accessories!

cause your in canada

Should we blame the government? Or blame society??

Or should we blame the images on TV???

NO! Blame Canada!! BLAME CANADA!

Canada and US are equal? When did that happen?? yourbeliefs

depends on if canadians get more an hour than americans.

in america a crap job is like $5 an hour.

and when the prices drop for games then you should make that argument, but prices for games hasn't dropped for us, we only had a couple system price drops

crap job in canada is8 dollars an hour or somthing like thatgotzskillz33

such as "the ps3 is 1000 us dollars where i live...but we make 100 dollars an hour"

gross over exaduration, but you cant just compare prices.

because you have free health care and they have to make that money back somehow :DMessiah_xXx

We pay taxes for that. Not over-priced electronics.

It's the import taxes that you have to pay on products brought into Canada.

Its nothing about wages or anything, its all about exchange rate. When the 360 came out the canadain dollar was lake at 86 cents american, thus all the games had to have a higher price here. However, now that our canadain dollar is like 96-1.00 dollar american, i dont see why they dont price drop. I got two reasons:

1) Exchange rates always change, who know maybe canadain dollar will pass american 2marrow or maybe it will take years, wh just dont know.

2) If companies know that you will pay 69.99 for a game for that past 2 years, why the hell would they lower it.crazymunda6

Well actually the CAD is higher then that now.

1 CAD = 0.999151 USD (pretty much 1 USD)

yah for real you get free healthcare and you complain about 10$ more, if you bought 10p games this year yo would only pay $100 extra than us, but most americans would dish ot somewhere close to $2000+ for healthcare in that same year thats $1900+ cheaper than you, so STFU, stop whining
