Canadian Dollar
Artimus:
The US is our only neighbor, and frankly, going there should be cheaper. I wouldn't mind seeing them have to pay 75 cents for 1 dollar canadian though!
manunited4eva22:
Of course you wouldn't minding the world economy dying, your canadian
oohhboy:
Sure you pay for gas, but you pay for gas when you go shopping anywhere. You just make sure when you do go cross the boarder you buy multiple things and treat i like a mini road trip/vacation or something.
I don't see it as the world economy dying, more like leveling the playing field abit.
Naruto:
It's cheaper now to buy things in the US. Look at most games for instance. After conversion it might be the same if you to buy a game in Canada
BEFORE tax. But ah after tax it's very different. In BC we pay 14.5% tax, compared to Washington, which is like 8%(not too sure on exact
percentage but should be right). Save like 6.5 % tax, not inconsiderable amount. Plus gas in washington is cheaper too, fill up on the way back
And just like oohhboy said make it a mini road trip. Not like we go across border to buy one item only. It's good to go to US and look around once
in a while.
Mojo:
Average game in US: $49.99 USD ($62.49 CDN) + SHIPPING
Average game in CA: $69.99 CDN + TAX
If you ask me, it's still cheaper to buy in Canada if you look at the shipping rates.
