Here in Canada every game is 59.99 when new but everywhere I try to buy Fallout it is 69.99. What is up with that. Did the publishers just make it more because they are greedy or something?

Most games are now 69.99 here in Canada thanks to the **** economy... I guess Fallout 3 was just a taste of what was gonna happen.

I live in Vancouver and it's always 59.99...some places tried to get away with 64.99, but most places are 59.99 It has nothing to do with the canadian dollar. The canadian dollar is 81 cents on the US dollar. Yes, it's been higher, but it's still above average over the last 5 years

Well if it is $69.99 wouldn't you just go online and buy it?

Plus, I wouldn't be surprised to see big titles, such as Fallout, start to sell for a higher price due to the economy.

This would suck major a$$!!! I'd probably have to start waiting to buy games until the price dropped!! I barely dish out $59.99!!

The current exchange rate says that EVERY game should be $72. If I were you I would quit complaining and just be happy that most games are less than $50(US) because you are getting them cheap, while everyone else (including the country where they are made) has to pay full price.
