No they'll sell it for 800$ and drop it to 600$ because every price in canada is jacked up 25% for no reason. The US to CAN Dollar rates are almost identical so They(the company's) get 100% profit from it.
This has nothing to do with economics and everything to do with a captive market. It doesn't help the Canadian economy to overcharge Canadians for no reason other than to fatten the wallet of men whose wallets are already fat enough. Shipping is no more expensive to Canada than to many parts of the United States - most of our population lives within a couple hundred kilometres of the border.
This isn't the result of market forces - this is an artificial price difference maintained by pure greed when it should have been adjusted long ago. Sure Wal*Mart has to take a hit - they've been making profit hand over fist on our backs for the last few months.
Just because you failed a high school economics course doesn't mean you're an economist, douche.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Are they going to sell it at $600 CDN then drop it to $400 like they did to those American early-adopters/chumps?
