Can anyone explain why the fuck canadian retailers are listing newer upcoming switch games for 100 dollars?

I haven't seen one reason for it yet, and it only seems to effect Canada.

bump I wanna know why leafers have to pay so much

Thats the price you pay for becoming the new australia.

Isn't it because your dollar is worth less? I thought that was the reason, genuinely curios now though.

Already explained. It's a placeholder price.

ARMS is 79.99

Chill dude it's 79.99

I still can't find a Switch being sold by non-scalpers here; the cheapest listing on Amazon is used for $550.

Is the switch cracked yet? Only way we are goona get MHXX here in english.

>>380492674
It is, but $60 US literally translates perfectly to $79 CAD, which is the price of Xbox and PS4 games here. Nintenjew strikes again

>refuse to discount their game even when the sequel of said games has come out

Harper was too dumb to figure that freedom aint free and sometime you have to lower the price of oil to hurt the Russians also having negative interest rate ensure that no one is going to buy Canadian bonds.

So now Trudeau can either pray that the low interest rates and the worthless dollar will boost exports from manufactures or destroy our economy by raising the interest rates.

I'm not a fan of Trudeau either, but the economy started failing before he got in. It's because we put all out stock into oil while OPEC dictates the price, m80.

Because welcome to fucking Canada.

Remember when games slowly ticked up from $60, to $70, and now $80?

$100 is the next logical step.

Should be $79.99, if you're seeing higher it is likely a placeholder pricing.

If it finalized as higher, then don't buy products from people who try to jew you like that.

No, that's why they have high taxes, you dipshit. Games have hiked in price from 59.99 in 2011 to 79.99 today - that's purely due to a failing dollar.

Nearly every economic crisis Canada has had since 1960 has been triggered by the oil niggers. They aren't saving shit, they're the reason our retarded governments of the past 8 administrations refused to diversify the economy and keep the oil bullshit going.

No, that's why our purchase tax rate is around 13% (and that's actually pretty damn low compared to other health care countries), the MSRP has NOTHING to do with health care costs. It's just general jewing all around.

Our dollar falls because this country is run by idiots.

Products continue to cost even above what is mathematically correct because corporations just assume our dollar will keep sinking at an alarming rate and assume Canadians will keep buying games brand new like good little consumers

Prices of new shit are so expensive (plus insane shipping, plus customs fee or 13% tax) that Canadians would rather buy them second hand or jump on hot deals and scalp the living shit out of them because every dollar of ""free"" money counts, making shopping even more cancerous than it needs to be.

And in the end, our cases can't even be closed because they need to fit an English and French manual (back then), box arts are fucked up because they have to cram a French sentence for every English sentence, to the point where the back side can't even fit any screenshots.
