Um. Halo 3 forum?

I've fought countless times, yet I've never met an adversary who could offer me what we Spartans call, "A Beautiful Death."
I can only hope, with all the world's warriors gathered against us, there might be one down there who's up to the task.

No. That's what happens when you live in a different country.

At the end of the war. Nothing remains but a few Spartans. We are the only ones left. We are the Last Defence.

I live in Canada too. I was going to buy something from the Bungie store...until i found out the shipping was going to cost about $85.00...

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

Unfortunately, yea, many people are experiencing this. The U.S. and Canadian dollar used to be at par, now however, the Canadian dollar is worth just a bit more. And if I am not mistaken, it's 1.6% more, but don't quote me on that. Basically, it was ten bucks, till the value of the U.S. dollar went down. At least, this is my understanding as to why you, and others, have seen something overpriced.

Unfortunately, the Microsoft Points system doesn't necessarily vary its international prices by currency comparisons.

I just bought the Heroic map pack and I said that I would pay my dad back the 10 dollars that it would cost, when I look to see what the price is, its says its 15.50!(BTW i live in canada) Shouldn't it be 10 dollars also since the dollar is par? But i fought that it might be 10 dollars and they didn't update it. So I bought and enjoyed the map pack, then a couple of days later my dads says I own him 17.50! The price went up 2$ I'm pissed that i had to pay more since i live in Canada! Is there any way that i can get somewhat refunded?!?
Almost everything you download from the Xbox Live marketplace is managed by Microsoft Gaming Studios. I would suggest contacting the Xbox Live Technical Support Team here for further assistance. We cannot provide a solution to this issue, but hopefully giving you some advice will lead you in the right direction. Because this topic is not directly related to Bungie community activity and discussion, I would kindly suggest to post your thread in the Halo 3 Forum here or in the Off Topic: The Flood forum here. Thank you for your cooperation and if you have any more questions, feel free to send me a private message and I will help you with what I can.
