Guess that's the price we pay for owning Canada? Haha]]>Feb 22nd 2008 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/canadian-xbox-360-gets-50-price-cut-our-hockey-players-are-sti/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/canadian-xbox-360-gets-50-price-cut-our-hockey-players-are-sti/Feb 22nd 2008 4:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/canadian-xbox-360-gets-50-price-cut-our-hockey-players-are-sti/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/canadian-xbox-360-gets-50-price-cut-our-hockey-players-are-sti/

"We still own you... *cough*."
"...our Empire!"
"... ORR maybe not."

a) Have you not kept up with the whole lorry-goes-down-country-lane fiasco?

Maybe you should read the news.

I have no problem at all with Canadians, but this geography thing seems like an inferiority complex to me.]]>Feb 22nd 2008 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/canadian-xbox-360-gets-50-price-cut-our-hockey-players-are-sti/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/canadian-xbox-360-gets-50-price-cut-our-hockey-players-are-sti/
(I DO think that the majority of Americans would be surprised to learn just how enormous a land mass Canada is though.)

Finally our dollar is back to par and we're not paying an unnecessary premium on electronics. Imagine always having to add 50% to the price of stuff... that's what it was like.

And the ugly hockey player comment? If you exclude Mike Ricci, I'd say we're about even (he brings the average waaay down). Roenick anyone? Yikes.]]>Feb 23rd 2008 9:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/canadian-xbox-360-gets-50-price-cut-our-hockey-players-are-sti/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/canadian-xbox-360-gets-50-price-cut-our-hockey-players-are-sti/Feb 22nd 2008 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/canadian-xbox-360-gets-50-price-cut-our-hockey-players-are-sti/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/canadian-xbox-360-gets-50-price-cut-our-hockey-players-are-sti/
Are you clowns capable of EVER posting a Canadian related story without making some lame attempt at humor. Yes, we are a country to the North of you, will the hilarity never cease.

What do you mean MORE Zunes, how abut ANY Zunes!

It will be nice when the Zune comes to Canada so that the songs I listen to will actually post on my Zune card and I'll have some people to Z2Z share with!]]>Feb 22nd 2008 5:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/canadian-xbox-360-gets-50-price-cut-our-hockey-players-are-sti/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/canadian-xbox-360-gets-50-price-cut-our-hockey-players-are-sti/

Where did you get your Zune? I'm in Ontario and I got my 80 off ebay.

And don't remind me about Dubya, Liam. Many of us Yanks were just as shocked as you the second time he got elected. I think that election woke up all the wrestling fans and born-agains in our country to run to the polls for the first time in their lives.

The only thing that must come close in terms of shock factor is how close Mr. Blair was to our gramatically challenged president.]]>Feb 22nd 2008 5:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/canadian-xbox-360-gets-50-price-cut-our-hockey-players-are-sti/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/canadian-xbox-360-gets-50-price-cut-our-hockey-players-are-sti/Feb 22nd 2008 5:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/canadian-xbox-360-gets-50-price-cut-our-hockey-players-are-sti/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/canadian-xbox-360-gets-50-price-cut-our-hockey-players-are-sti/
If you want nothing but the facts, go to CNN.

Yeah maybe your country has been picked on a little much lately here, but this post wasn't even that harsh. Grow a thicker skin for gods sake. And be happy you don't have a Dubya running your country - us Americans have been the target of a LOT more flaming than you'll ever experience up north. ]]>Feb 22nd 2008 5:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/canadian-xbox-360-gets-50-price-cut-our-hockey-players-are-sti/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/canadian-xbox-360-gets-50-price-cut-our-hockey-players-are-sti/
