Unless the prices are the same between the 2 countries, we're still getting ripped off up here.

if they keep it a US levels I'd be very happy, they did that with the price of the hardware.

Let's hope so. While I'm not Canadian, I don't feel that a country who's dollar is roughly similar to the ours in the US should be paying more than us.

Nice one!!! I think ROck Band's DLCs will finally be as (expensive) as the USA's. They were 1 buck more... each x_x
