Canadian Pricing for the new 360 slim

Hey, so I went over to bestbuy's Canadian site and saw that the new 360 is being sold not for 299.99, but instead for 399.99.   We all know there is a  difference in value between American and Canadian currency, but that would only account for about a 10 dollar difference.  Sony sells the PS3 slim for 299.99 in Canada.  Wonder what Microsoft's excuse is?  Especially when they keep saying "more features for the same price".  As a Canadian, there's not a lot of insentive to buy the new hardware. 
 

it.. must be a mistake? o____o

If this is true it's a shitty thing for MS to do. I was actually thinking about buying a new 360 when I saw the announcement... but for $400? Screw that!

It's a mistake. I looked at futureshop and they have it for 299.99

Bestbuy Canada strike again.  What a bunch of idiots.  The funny thing of course being that Bestbuy owns Futureshop.

Thank god, looks like I will be buying my 360 slim afterall! "

I'm sure this is simply a reactionary posting. I'm sure the Canadian price will be $329 CAD.

microsoft hates us?

Over the years, they try to get the price down to $200, then bump it back to $300. I think
I'll just be happy with what I got & if it breaks, get Mr. Softy to fix it for 
free or replace/refurbish it.  I don't see a Slim in my future, not for $300.
