It's like why, nothing else is priced this badly compared to us.



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:

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:
Prime is definitely worth it. Games get delivered day one. plus all the other shyt you can buy on Amazon.

20% is great, but they had some better deals at E3 on top of that.

there were games for $49.99

Titanfall was only 49.99
BF1 was only 49.99
Watch Dogs 2 only 49.99


plus all the other games were 20% off

Amazon>>>

Yeah I did the E3 deal also for BF1 and FF. Didn't need Prime for that and BF1 was delivered on release date.

I guess with Prime it's guaranteed to arrive on release day, may be the difference. But again I'd have to buy enough games to cover the cost of Prime per/month and then some to make worthwhile. Can't see myself by 2-3 games a month, lol.

ahh, I got prime student (find someone with a student email) I only pay $40/year

but once you have prime, you will buy a lot more shyt on Amazon, IMO it's worth it even for $100

the deals, plus the guaranteed FREE shipping. makes it worth it.

93 dollars on average for a damn game, considering many of these games are made right here in Canada with sexy tax breaks it's absurd.
