When I pre-ordered ODST at ebgames, the guy told me it was $69.99, that's alot, add 13% tax and you've got $79!! I didn't know if that would go down or not, so I put $40 down.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Your tax rate is about twice as much as mine. That just plain sucks. Maybe it was just a preorder fee? Or maybe it really is 70 bucks where you live.

That's why EBgames is dead in America. You'll never find one here. Gamestop replaced them all XD

Why don't you level 50's out there, when you finally decide to apply for colleges...why don't you put that you were a level 50 on your application. And put it on your job resume, too. See how much it matters, and how much people care.

Game Stop and EB games are exactly the same thing.
same company two names.

at both Game Stop and EB games in Canada ODST is $70
because of the currency difference.

True. Now that I think about it having the -blam!- beat out of you with a pool ball in a tube sock by your degenerate pimp is the better choice.

Connecticut is 6%, so eat it.

Also, how did this thread become about taxes and currency conversation rates?

Bottom line is that either it is because of the conversion rate or you are getting ripped off. Try shopping around online (only Canadian vendors, now) and see if the price is the same. Then you will know.

as far as I'm aware, for the most part EB games is the Canadian Game Stop
As I've only seen One Game Stop in Canada.

but there was a Mall here in Alberta that had both An EB games and a Game Stop. the stores were Nearly identical.
game selection, price, lay out, look. the only thing was one had more floor space.

Duracell.
I don't keep going and going and going and...

lol was that west ED? they used to have both... anyway in calgary(also in Alberta Canada) the game is 59.99

also there is certainly no reason it should be that much(dollar at par at the pricing date) challenge them on it EB in Alberta is charging only60

If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

Grr... Alberta... they have no taxes and -blam!-loads of oil. I'd be jealous if their hockey teams were doing well.

no westED only has one -blam!- over priced game store called playMe and they charge like $500 for the Wii Fit. it was Kingsway

and I don't think it's 59.99 in calgary. because the canadian price is 69.99. its like that at wal-mart and the source as well as HMV. well walmart may be like a buck or two cheaper, they do that sometimes

It is the old who declare war,but it is the young who must die.
