Prices up here don't reflect that though!!!  It's lame!!  A $49 US XBOX 360 game is still $59 or $69 Canadian!!  SO doesn't really seem all that different with the Canadian dollar finally doing well!!

IIRC, the VAT tax instantly slaps something like a 33% surcharge on all items sold in Canada.  We've got state sales taxes to deal with in the US, but none of them are THAT high.  Not even in Taxachusetts.

what?? where did you get that idea from? 33%? thats stupid. here in Ontario it's 8% PST and 6% GST for a total of 14% tax.....thats kind of less than 33% ain't it?
