Canadian price cuts even things a little
Nice. Canadians have been complaining for a while that the price of an Xbox in Canada is unreasonably high, due to the strength of the Canadian dollar; Microsoft seems to have acknowledged that, with the latest price cuts. As of tomorrow, the price of an Xbox 360 Premium in Canada is CAD$399 - $100 less than it was previously. (That's still 8% more, in US dollars, than US residents have to pay - but it's better than the 19% extra they were paying last week.) The Elite 'surcharge' drops from 8% over US price to 5% over, and the Core drops from 11% over to 1.5% over. The price of the upcoming Halo 3 Xbox 360 will be CAD$449.99 - 6.6% more than US residents will pay. Life's getting fairer - but maybe it just means temptation? Thanks, Anton P. Nym.
