HoC Random Price Gouging of Canada - 03012014

Cause we can all afford to be ripped off a little more

I have already cut back on the games I buy. This just makes it worse.

From VG24/7: 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.

If they video game publishers actually made consistently good and bug free games on release I wouldn't mind so much but they don't! I am getting sick of paying to Beta Test games. I think I am back to waiting for price drops before buying. Except for Zombie Army Trilogy which I am totally buying on release day!
