Heard about this about 3 days ago. Now its the same as the US price. I didnt know it was temporary though. Interesting.
It's not temporary, it's permanent. Best Buy, Toys R Us, Future Shop so far, and I'm sure it'll be everywhere else shortly.

The price is permanent despite there being a date of the "sale" ending. That date refers to the free game of Turok you get with your purchase.

Yea, Microsoft is just a little bit slower than Sony was, heh.
Man I'm getting close to getting a 360 up here. If the 360 Arcade had an empty HD bay that allowed any 2.5 HD, I'd buy one right now. Bring the Premium to $300 and I'm sold.

Hell, all three systems need a price drop in Aus.
Theyre rip offs

The price drop isn't a sale. Future Shop is calling it a sale, but the other stores are not. Maybe you should search:

Yeah, it shouldn't be considered a real price drop, either.
Its really just a balancing of price between Canada and the US, as the CDN and USD are worth the same amount now.

It's a sale for FS because you get a free game with it until the 28th. After that, it's just the price drop.

You have to get into ebay man...unoped Bioshock will be 30-50 in your pocket. Not to mention I just got PGR4 shipped to my door brand new for $19 because some people put up odd auctions. Especially if your getting a 360 this late in the game, you'll pick up great games for dirt cheap.
And you don't have to deal with eb games.

wow.....the american economy really sucks.
It would be funny if the canadian 360 were even cheaper then the american market.

Yeah, right now the USD is dropping in value more than the Dreamcast in '01.

Right now it's 33 for Turok at EB games. So it would about 317 for a pro unit in the end. Plus taxes of course.......
