It's disgusting. It's why I buy digital and game share. $40 a game.

This is partially the reason as to why i buy digitally. Avoiding taxes.

$90 on a damn game. I remember when I can just easily roll into walmart and buy a new game for $59.98 :upsetfavre:

This was the norm. I bought 2K17 this weekend and it was 90 bucks and I noticed the price of games been like this the past two years.

They went from 59.99 to 69.99 and now they're all 79.99

Why the price gouge? I know the CDN is kind of shyt right now but that can't be the reason why. Distributors taking advantage of the shyt CDN and just marking up prices?

shyt makes no sense to me

Reminds me off those days dropping $120 CAD after taxes on N64 wrestling games (Consumers Distributing the GOAT)

Might actually have to consider Canadian Amazon Prime now as all pre-orders get you 20% off, but then have to strike those savings against the Prime fee. Not sure if it will work out. :mjcry:

It's crazy, ea and ubisoft are both located in Canada getting cushy tax breaks, while we get raped

I'm at the point of waiting a few months then copping on Kiji , found Madden 17 for 35cdn , saved myself like 55 bucks
