Its Huelen...post history can tell you the full story behind this strange post haha
No psn card or ps+ time? If I can find it on eBay for cheaper, I could also get a LOU code for a good price and that would probably still be cheaper than a bundle.

It's just not the same when you have to request it.
Oh, who am I kidding? Still awesome.
Most companies have a price adjustment policy but usually like within a week or two, not usually a month later

What in the world are you two complaining about? With the conversion rate it is still cheaper than it is in the U.S.? If anybody should be complaining it should be the U.S. customers.

NHL 16 $346.49 N/A | $331.09 N/AYes, I see that, but I don't see any listings for it on any retail sites, so which version of 3.0 is it? Just the vanilla version? The complete Saga pack? Any bundle exclusive items? etc etc.

I don't get paid in American fucking dollars. My Canadian dollar pay didn't go up when the currency changed.
Price drop is tomorrow

I hope we here in Mexico get such a discount, our PS4 average price is 7500 MXN (about 450 USD). Although I still have quite a considerable backlog for the PS3 I bought last May.

Gee whiz, as a Canadian, I sure can't wait for our discounted price of a generous $400 come Black Friday/Boxing Day.

MS has to do alot more to sell the One than Sony does the Ps4, whether it be dropping the price lower or throwing in a bunch of games. Sony doesn't have to price the Ps4 at $299 to get it to sell more than XB1, heck I'm sure a $399 bundle is still going to do well. The $349 pricepoint is just to have at least one bundle that matches the lowest priced bundle from MS.
I think all things being equal, my hunch is a prospective customer with no particular affinity for one console over another will more than likely pick Ps4, especially if they're informed enough to know about the slightly beefier hardware but more importantly, they'll go where their friends are. And make no mistake, a $349 Star Wars bundle exclusive to Sony with the movie around the corner is going to be HUGE.
As for a BF $299 bundle, I think you'll see some stuff thrown in and the price kept at $349. I expect Bloodborne, the Last of Us, the Order, and PS+ to all be used in varying ways as BF throw-ins.
Let's just make it a cool $200 and throw in Bloodborne and the Uncharted collection.
Really??!!

why risk it? buy it now, get the GC then pricematch!
Yep, with the price drop and bundles announced, 36.1 million shipped by 31st December 2015 will very likely happen now. I'm still sticking with my sold through prediction of 35 million. Also, I agree with you that Microsoft won't drop the prices of their bundles, except maybe for Black Friday.Maybe I shouldn't have revised my forecast down and just stuck with the original prediction I made in January.

Why should that make a difference? Exchange rates exist for a reason.
Regardless, the Canadian PS4 was initially priced lower than its US counterpart and it now continues to stay lower, so I'm not even sure what point you are trying to make about the change in rates. You've always paid less.
I usually wait for either Amazon Lightning deals or BB bundles and do a quick conversion in my head to see if it's worth buying after conversion. Usually on BF I saved between $10-30/ game after conversion and added taxes. Consoles are a it pricier so has to include 2-3 games to offset the Canadian price
You forgot that the Mexican price includes 15% of taxes (IVA). Around $1000 go straight to the government, so the price is around 6500 pesos, at 17 pesos per dollar its about 380 us.
I think the official Mexican price will remain the same with retailer deals reaching 6000 pesos like it has been for a while. The peso devaluation will eat the pricecut.

Not after Microsoft implements their "Buy Halo 5, get an Xbox One free!" campaign.
Seriously? If I make $50,000 per year CDN, and you make $50,000 per year USD, you actually make $65,000 CDN, so when my pay does not go up to reflect the lower dollar value, it fucking hurts man, and Canadians do have a right to complain, especially because Sony IGNORES the dollar differential from Euro-USD and Yen-USD. Canada is the only one that gets their prices changed as the dollar fluctuates.
So before making a meaningless chart and calling a nation whiners, do a bit of research.

Funny that I spent $379.99 CAD for a PS4 over a year ago. Sony might actually come out on top for this October's NPD.
Exactly, and lets to pretend that the Gears of War 500GB bundle is not the same price in CAD or USD. The exchange rate does have an impact, but it is largely how much they believe they can charge consumers and get away with it.

Time to jump in! You know what to do Sony Europe.
This one has the most detailed OP, so I'm posting here.
Edit: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. They raised CDN by $30.
LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Dropped it by $20. It was $449.99 before. Feels good knowing I got mine for $399 before the price hike, and with a game.
Amen.

Still too pricey for me given how lackluster I find its current library, but good news for everyone who's champing at the bit to get one this fall.
