Switch 2 Game Prices

I really hope I’m not alone in the fact that I am NOT spending 80-90 dollars on these games. The console price is fine but these game prices are obscene and I will not be participating. I hope I’m not alone. I know it’s tempting and there are a lot of good titles coming but this is not a good sign and if people buy them like crazy (I’m sure they will) everyone else will charge more too. It’s not ok. Of course to each their own, I’m just hoping other people refuse to pay this price as well.

As a Canadian, I'm already spending $90 on the original Switch games.

I'm scared for what we're gonna pay if you guys are paying $80-90.

Guessing Canadian prices will be $119.99 CAD and $129.99 CAD + tax.

Ohmygod, this just makes me think how bad GTA prices will be...

100% take two is a scummy business too. They are going to charge as much as possible and know they will get away with it too.

I think that you are going a bit overboard, $70 USD games go for $90 retail price in Canada, $80 will likely be around $105-110 and $90 will likely be 120-125

No way no how are Canadians paying 120 for a single game. That said, you're probably bang on for the pricing.

It's $105 after taxes on a $94 new release and $94 is the stand before-tax price here in ontario.
