On behalf of Canadian gamers everywhere, thank you Sony!
Last week, Sony finalized PSN parity by launching Everyday Shooter at $9.99 for both America and Canada. That was a huge step in the right direction.
Now, the 80GB PS3 and 40GB are being priced at $499 and $399 (respectively) for both the U.S. and Canadian markets! This is unheard of - not only in the gaming market, but in nearly every market there is.
Proof can be seen at any major retailer's site:
BestBuy.com
BestBuy.ca
No word on price corrections by Microsoft or Nintendo at this point.
For those who didn't know, Canadians have been paying roughly 7-10% more on our gaming purchases for the past 4 weeks, despite having an equal dollar.
Sony could be the catalyst that changes other industries, such as the vehicle market, where Canadians are still paying 20+% more for our cars.
Sony didn't have to do this, and I think they should be recognized for being a pioneer in fair pricing. So, this thread would be a great place to simply say thanks!
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
It's an even better deal for Canucks with the Canadian Dollar strength over the US Dollar.
You're always hoping they will somehow listen to us, but in this case, not only they were listening, but they also acted on it really fast!!!
Way to go Sony!
Soon enough, the Canadian retail prices should drop below the U.S. retail since the dollar value keeps rising.
Thats great news. Maybe cars manufacturers will get the message. But I doubt it. Greedy bastards they are.
<3 Canada!!
