Looks like a strong Canadian dollar is finally making it’s mark.  Talks of outrageous prices have finally been heard by the retailers, and although it took a few weeks to stabilize, there is certainly a price drop.  This doesn’t happen to affect all goods and services yet, but it’s affected a very important good that’s near and dear to our hearts.  I’m talking about video games.  I received a phone call from a friend of mine yesterday alerting me of this piece of news.  Great news for the Wii and the pocket.

Seems obvious to start off with a chart-topper, so as this report from National Post mentions, Wal-Mart started it’s new system with the highly anticipated Halo 3.  Apparently, Wal-Mart’s also been able to use the strong dollar to “Rollback” a lot of its prices – alas, I’m not running a business blog (yet), so we’ll have to move on.  Actually, there’s not much to be said.

With price parity, games will only become more demanded.  However, I hope the dollar really stabilizes enough to make this pricing more of a permanent feature as opposed to a seemingly temporary one.  And why aren’t those prices on iPods dropping yet?
