The "Variety" bundle will increase by £2 to £30 per month, while the "Family" bundle is climbing by £3 to £36 per month. Football fanatics, meanwhile, will notice a £1 increase for Sky Sports, making it £25.50 per month for existing Sky TV customers, while the Sky Movies package is jumping by 50 pence to £17 per month. Finally, if you pay for Sky Sports and Sky Movies together, you'll see an increase of £1.50, making it £34.50 per month.
Good bye $0.99 apps in the Canadian App Store, say hello to $1.19
The days of $0.99 in the Canadian App Store have come to an end, thanks to the falling value of the Canadian loonie. We reported on the impending price increases late last week, with the actual increases starting last Thursday. Apps that were previously $0.99 are now $1.19, a 20% increase. Most other apps have only seen a 15% increase according to CTV NEW in Canada. $1.99 apps are now $2.29, $2.99 apps are up to $3.49, $3.99 apps have risen to $4.59, and $4.99 apps are bumped up to $5.79. The increase is a move on Apple's part to ensure that revenue generated in each of the international App Stores is on par with the other stores. This is the first time that the Canadian App Store has seen such an increase.
PS4 price going up $50 in Canada, accessories and games up $5
It's not uncommon for gamers to hold off on purchasing new consoles, games and accessories until a price drop; what's is uncommon is waiting, and being rewarded with a price increase. The Toronto Sun reports that starting today, the PlayStation 4 will cost $50 more in Canada, up from its previous price of $399.99. Unfortunately, the bad news doesn't end there. The PlayStation Camera and DualShock 4 are also rising in price, from $59.99 to $64.99. Two games exclusive to Sony's system - Infamous: Second Son and MLB 14: The Show - are also getting bumped, from $64.99 to $69.99. Sony said the price changes are being made to "respond to changes in the market environment." The Canadian Dollar is currently weak against the US Dollar, but Sony did not specifically cite this as an influencing factor. Meanwhile, Microsoft told the Sun that there were no current plans for a price hike in the land of hockey and maple leaves. [Image: Sony]
