wow i didn't believe it at first then checked it out its bad enough we have to wait another month now they tag on an extra 30 bucks for what the cost of the "French packaging" come now
Although interestingly enough Future Shop's website still displays the 169.99 price

I didn't believe it either, but french packaging has nothing to do with it. I was sure Best Buy was matching US prices, but it seems like not in this case. And that's not even counting taxes, and canadian taxes are pretty high. I'm not paying over 170$ that's for sure.

luckily me and my buddy trekked to the states and lucked out with a cart full of special edition rock bands being rolled out as we were leaving .. so my point is a price break down
-------------- Price ------local Tax----Duty -------Total
Rockband Us 169.99------- .04%------.14%-------201.53
Rockband Can 199.99 ------ .14% -------N/A ------ 227.98
Therefore still cheaper to purchase in the Us
*Note based on an Ontario to New York State crossing some figures vary depending on State to province crossing. fuel costs not factored in

that makes me paying 240 on ebay a lot happier :).
It could also just be a random guess by best buy tho.

yeah i had a friend go to a store and buy if for me (portland, no state tax - 170), and then ship it to me (55$ fedex)... sent him the money via paypal and got hit with an extra 20$ in fees for him receiving the money. All said and done was about 245... So 240 + an extra month to play before the rest of Canada == good deal :)

Well lets just add it to the $10 MS wants to charge us for downloading an HD movie rental next week.
Lets just all collectively bend over (moreso than usual).
