I was looking at consolewatch.com yesterday and found some PS3s availble online at Future Shop, Best Buy, and The Source. So I was expecting them to get picked up real quickly but to my surprise they were still there after being up for over 10 minutes (and this is how long I was watching. I don't know how long they were availble before I got there). Since then (about 36 hours) Future Shop has sold 3 and Best Buy has sold 7.
I don't get it. Did it all finally die here in Canada? If I had the money I would've jumped at the opportunity to get one of these.
Also, there's Nunchuks at Amazon.ca in case anyone's interested.
Since there now pricing at 700 A piece, and more , It will get shotgunned in the back, I saw a couple in Best Buy, and some guy walking out with one, but no one wants one.
I don't know about elsewhere in Canada, but here, more often than not, there are usually a few PS3's for sale at Walmart. And that's been since Jan.
I hadn't been under the impression that it was ridicuously hard to get one since Feb.
I wish people would run a currency program. That way they wouldn't be so quick to complain about the PS3 Candian price.
A PS3 at $599.99 in the United States translates to $$695.46 Canadian, so it's not like Canada is getting the royal shaft.
The normal price was $659.99 For a ps3 and the price went up majorly, thats why I complain.
Either way, the PS3 is already a failure.
Then maybe those people should have bought one back then, because now the PS3 is priced much closer to the U.S. version
Canadians apparently were getting a treat at the lower cost.
As for the PS3 being a failure....It only came out in November of 2006, so I think most adults will give it sometime before complaining it dead in the water.
