This will be my last comment on the subject of "high" game prices in Canada. I don't think it's Canadians who complain about high game prices, just a few more outspoken ones. Games used to cost up to $100 CDN, then dropped to around $50/60. Now they are going for 60/70 for Wii U games. A measly ten dollars increase after years of low prices. The cost of food goes up. The cost of clothes goes up. Housing prices go up. Why can't the cost of video games go up?
I think the prices for everything goes up over time. I live in Canada and it's no problem paying "more" for things. Either buy it and don't complain about the price, or don't buy it and don't complain about the price.

Re: GameStop Advert Offers A Link Between Worlds 3DS XL and Luigi Bundle
I didn't read all of the comments, but did anyone note that the Luigi's Mansion has been a Wal Mart exclusive in Canada for some time now?
Note: it was a limited release, so they probably don't sell it in Canada anymore. Also note, I believe it was a black 3DS.
