Fucking balls I remember back when we had a 60 cent exchange rate.... I never thought we'd be back so soon.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

I remember as a kid going to the States and converting everything by a factor of 150%. Good times.

 

[Vinc]

So... maybe it's bouncing back up to more reasonable levels in 2018?


Great!

 

[Ventara]

60 cents? No. Nononononono! Fuck! I should've invested when we had parity. oh, this feeling of complete defeat.

 

[Anth0ny]

Maybe I SHOULD buy the Oculus Rift at $910 CAD.

 

[The Elite]

It will hopefully bounce back for the PS5/Xbox 2.

 

[i-Jest]

Maybe I SHOULD buy the Oculus Rift at $910 CAD.

Seriously, what the fuck...
$99 games incoming. $111 with taxes.
$69 with Amazon E3 30% off.
Fucking hell.

I'm gonna get my PS3 repaired and bang that out with my Vita and 3DS. I don't see myself buying to many games on release after 2016. This hobby just turned into a rich mans sport

Buy all the PS1 games on sale on PSN right now. You'll be set for the rest of the year.

 

[krae_man]

All the Canadian developed games are going to stay $60 right?

 

[Sora_N]

I feel I should buy a PS plus extension soon.

I feel I should buy a PS plus extension soon.

That might not be a bad idea.

 

[BadWolf]

I have 2 years worth of PS+ stashed, just waiting for SFV to activate.

Sure.

2016 is proving to really be the perfect year to go down to PAX again.

At least the gas will be cheap.

Good thing I just bought a bunch of games that I haven't played yet.

I still like mine:

Backlog and existing E3 preorders will keep me occupied this year, which is good.

I wonder if I should nab some computer parts for the upgrade I wanted to do this year, as no doubt they'll keep going up. I should have bought stuff last fall.

 

[oreomunsta]

Fair enough. I just foresee myself getting really, really familiar with my backlog this year

$99 problems but the backlog ain't one

 

[Cloud Strife]

^ the only choice, really.

Still can't believe this.

 

[Luigi87]

... Gonna focus on my backlog, and maybe doing productive things...
... because ouch...

I went to school in Canada, so I used to look at these threads sometimes. I'm so sorry that it's come to this

Looks like this may be the year that gets me to bust out the wii u and make my way through all the unopened wii u games that have been piling up because i bought em during preorder sales. While people may say it's a waste to just buy a game and leave it unopened, why not buy later, due to Nintendo's pricing policy, I actually got them at a cheaper price than they've ever been even on sale after their release, and many games are nearly 2 years old now.

They have such a high price of entry into their ecosystem, cheaper older games are essential for mid-to-late gen console purchases.

I really hope they revise their pricing policy for the NX. Not holding my breath though.

Getting a new wave of nostalgia.

I'll still buy games... I just won't buy as many.

Man, they don't make box art like they used to. All of those are better than most of what we get today (except Zoop lol)

 

[vulva]

Did you guys know that the low dollar means games will be more expensive? We should discuss that until the next shipping crisis.

 

[sj00]

The new Pokemon N3DS is up on Amazon Canada now. Not a bad price!

Edit: beaten!

 

[i-Jest]

I think I'll focus more on getting Virtual console games, before Nintendo does away the Wii Shop Channel service, if rumors about the NX release window and anywhere nearing true. I really can imagine Nintendo preserving Wii Shop Channel for NX users.

$40 more than in the USA? That's good in terms of exchange rate, though I'm surprised the 3DS still costs that much.

I'm surprised it's just 239.99. I was expecting $280.

It's a tease looking at some of those cheap digital code prices and then realizing I have to add exchange on top of that.

Still decent prices though.

 

[the3ye]

Order now, think later!

Now I hope PSN prices don't go up across the board....

Seriously. Someone in Toronto want to sell me Splatoon?

I was a kid back then and I just saved up for games I really wanted and sometimes I rented some games too. Back then the offer wasn't as huge. These days you have major releases every months. It kind of forced you to play the games you had.

[MarkusRJR]

I really hope that they don't raise the price of Xbox Live in Canada. Thinking about buying some of those prepaid 12 month cards while they're on sale to keep my account active for a bunch of years before the price goes up.

 

[No_Style]

Someone on Twitter told me that they spoke with Amazon.ca CS and they were told that Prime 20% off games perk is making its way to Canada. No ETA though.

Goodbye 30% off preorders sales...

 

[pineapplepizza]

Thanks to MarkMan in another thread, use code 2016 on the MadCatz website at checkout.

I didn't see any info on the discount amounts and for what items. I tried for a few items and they appear to be up to $20-$60 off some hardware (example: TE2 arcade sticks).

 

[BadWolf]

Goodbye 30% off preorders sales...

Well those happen like once or twice a year while the Prime thing will be year round for people.

Hoping we get both.

 

[Vinc]

But games will only be $72 before tax + a yearly fee!

 

[No_Style]

Thank goodness BestBuy is still around. If they run a 30% off sale, I can see Amazon.ca matching. They've matched every sale since they got into the E3 Promo game.
