    I know the price is 250 bones in the states now, but what about Canada tho. Is the price going to be a little higher, because the Canadian dollar is just about the same as American now. Help me out guys.

    The Canadian and US prices are probably the same-- I don't think it's ever been any different with other console launches.

    Hm, I'm not sure about that, now that I think about it. I know we always get fucked over for game prices, but I can't recall if the console/handheld prices have differed...

    Couldn't you just drive down to the US and buy it there if it were cheaper? Or have they tightened up the border recently?

    I'm certain not everyone has the opportunity to do that, especially me and especially since there are most likely going to be shortages so many people will rely on pre-orders to get one.

    If it costs more it'll probably only be about $10... I hope. Whateves, I'm not buying it until the re-design anyway. I'll envy all y'all playin' those Capcom games while I have to wait though.

    Confirmation: Canada Gamestop has tweeted (Twittered or whatever the hell) that the price in Canada (at least for EB Games/Gamestop) will be $249.99. Glad we're not getting screwed over.

    As far back as I can remember the actual consoles were always the same price as the states, but games are usually 10 dollars more.
