Alert: PS4 Price Going Up By $50 In Canada!

Briefly: You read that title right, Sony’s Playstation 4 console is not getting a price drop, but a price hike up in the great white North.

Sony confirmed the new price to the Toronto Sun earlier today, which notes the reason for the price change as “to respond to changes in the market environment,” though the Canada to US dollar value was not mentioned.

Dualshock 4 controllers and the Playstation Camera will also see a $5 increase. All pricing goes into effect tomorrow, so Canadians, if there’s a PS4 somewhere that you were thinking about picking up (unlikely as they’re essentially sold out everywhere all the time), I’d jump on the unit before tomorrow comes.

Will this hurt the PS4’s presence in Canada? Have you been able to find a console yet? Sound out below! Is this the first official price hike in console history?
