Canadian new game prices jump to $75
As spotted by HardcoreGamer, the local Canadian branches of Amazon and EB Games have raised the prices of upcoming games to CAD$75.
The CAD$5 increasing comes within a year of prices hitting the CAD$70 point.
CAD$75 (£38/€53) currently exchanges for $60, the standard US pricing. The change is likely due to to fluctuation in currency value, but since that doesn’t mean local wages go up, from a consumer perspective it’s just less cash in their pockets.
Standard new release console game RRPs are also pretty expensive in the UK at £50 ($77/€70), Europe at €70 ($78/£50), and Australia at AUD$110 ($85/£55/€75).
Oh, hell – they’re expensive everywhere and none of us are getting paid enough.

Not much converted to GBP. New games in the UK are 50GBP which is much more when converted to US dollars and CAD.

Indeed. Stuff like this makes it feel great to be PC Gaming.
I'd be bankrupt if I purchased 230 games for a console.
