Amazon Prime has 20% off most new games.
got Prime on accident but took advantage of some of the deals. got Titanfall 2, and Watchdogs 2 half off, then Injustice 2 preordered at 20% off. I can wait on games to go on sale nowadays, very rarely am I paying full price. price hike still sucks, as deals still really ain't much of a deal

Tax you like 40% on your salary , tax you 13 percent on things you buy, average rent like 1,300. Everything expensive

If you own rental properties, they tax you up the ass when you sell.

I live in the D.C. area, get taxed 30%, have to pay for healthcare (unlike you all in Canada), and my rent is $2020 a month for a small one bedroom.

I think you have it good in Canada. So, you pay $20 more for games, but that's not as bad as what I pay where I live, which admittedly is one of the most expensive places in the US, but still :manny:

I'd love to live in Toronto, Montreal, or Vancouver.

There are several ways for you Canucks to eat.

Sounds like you guys just aren't good shoppers. If you have no problem with digital there are SEVERAL ways around this premium you guys are paying.

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.

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.
Amazons guarantee ain't worth a shyt here.

My copy of titanfall 2 still ain't here and won't be here until Wednesday.


I pre ordered a bunch of games and 4/5 games have now arrived late as fukk

Oh damn, good to know, lol.

Usually I just wait for desperate people to unload their shyt on kijiji.
