HOW MUCH WILL THE N64 COST IN CANADA NOW THAT IT'S US$199???

[YAPP]

How much will the N64 cost in Canada now that it's US$199 in the US? If
the price was C$299 before the price change, then will it be C$239(using
the exchange rate of the C$299 price divided by US$249)? Can anyone
confirm this? I'm buying the N64 this coming September 30 from Toronto,
so I need the prices.

I'd say the likely price is;
a) $250 - nice round number and cheaper than the other consoles. More
likely if one of the others drops to $149.99 US.
b) $275 - close to what the exchange rate is. This is the more probable price.

The $299 price was, IMO, a desire on Nintendo's part to have the N64
come in under the $300 mark. What with the price drop, they don't have
that problem anymore.

The new M.S.R.P. for the N64 in Canada in $279.99. It was $299.99.
May Mario bless you all on Sept. 29!

Well, the Playstation is $199US and it sells for $275 at Babages in
Edmonton. I expect the N64 would be similar in pricing...

The N64 will be 279.99 in Canada. that is what the PSX and the saturn
cost here. and the PSX and the saturn cost 199 in the uS Nintendo is
equaling sony's and sega's price tag. The games in Canada will cost
around 84.99-89.99.

Well, the latest press release said the N64's price has been cut down to
$150 in the U.S. so I would assume it might cost around $225-250 in Canada.
By the way, Sony announced that the Playstation's price will be lowered to
$150 also. Saturn will stay at $200. Bad move SEGA.

Thanx for the price check Bugg. Sorry, for semi-flaming ya eariler in
the group.

[Pingů]

where did you hear this??? Nintendo has not and will not cut the price
of the N64 down to $150 for some time (its still $199 US) and Sony has
not anounced that the psx will drop to $150, this may happen but it
has not yet been confirmed.

Now where would anyone get the idea that a company would make thier
game system actually affordable; Variety or Star.
