heck, we needed a price cut just to offset the raging dollar.

What kind of money is that in U.S. dollar terms? Are they getting a much better deal than we Americans?

roughly, for the premium it would be $439 US, and the core would be about $329 US.

399.00 CAD = 378.749 USD
Canada Dollars United States Dollars
1 CAD = 0.949245 USD 1 USD = 1.05347 CAD

so our premium costs $378 USD and we have to pay 15% taxes on top of that

Hey.. it's only 14 percent now... but it still sucks, we always have to pay more for everything. Canada is the great afterthought

So the core would be REAL cheap in U.S. dollars? Why the H didn't they do these price cuts in America?

I would love to pick one of these up tomorrow if i knew that the elites were packing one of those fancy new 65nm chips. Until i know for sure that there in there, i have to hold off. But i can only hold off until halo 3 comes out. So, what ever they have in stock on sept 25 i'll be taking one of those home.

im buying one, but now theres a rumor of premiums going HDMI come september. I may have to also hold off. Either way, sept 15thish, im walking in and buying a console. If nothing has changed from now, it will be an elite in which case I will sell my 120GB hdd and purchase a used 20GB hdd and thus end up purchasing an elite with hdmi and 20gb hdd for the price of the premium.

"The Core and Premium consoles are both receiving a hefty cut of $100"

Really? I thought the premium got a $50 price cut?

Every Canadian related issue always seems to have "eh" attached. For the love of God, it is incredibly annoying and ignorant. It's not even funny - seriously.

I think the reason we got a $100 price cut is that the old price was set when the dollar was at 80 cents US. Right now the dollar is at 95 cents US, which means we're paying almost $100 more per system.

And CalabreZ - lighten up, eh?

It's just like every time I see an American show, and something Canadian is mentioned, there is an "eh" related joke. It's like Aussies and kangaroos. It's just not creative and it kinda bugs me. I'm surprised no Canadian is annoyed by this fact, but whatever. Whatever guys - ignorance is bliss :).

Maybe I'm coming off more angry than I actually am, though. It's just an irritation.
