Canadians get a PS3 Price “Increase”

Thats right, despite horrible sales across the board the one place the console is doing alright is in Canada. So what is Sony to do? Increase the price of course, even though the console was already retailing at $659.99, that apparently was not enough to please the machine. The console price has been hiked to $699.99. Today is a sad day to be a Canadian Gamer. One has to wonder wtf is going on with Sony and especially the marketing department, I for one have not really ever seen anything like this happen… ever? Least not in the gaming market.

Well, you’re right, I’ve never actually heard of a price INCREASE during a console’s life span. But economically it makes sense if its doing well in Canada. Demand goes up, so does the price. I think it may be a sign that Sony is losing more money than they expected and are getting desperate so they have to pick on the poor Canadians.

False information again. Only 2 stores in Canada are increasing the prise and its not Sony…. just another rumor with no roots in reality.

Both Futureshop and Walmart have increased their prices.
