Now that our dollar is weakening, we're getting that $10 increase (next-gen games are still 59.99 in the US, and are almost universally 69.99 here now).

How so? You said games cost $70 here in Canada in 2001 and I am telling you they were $60. You were trying to say that games here in Canada went from $70 to $60 when in fact they remained $60 for two generations and the cost of games in the States went up from $50 to $60. That's totally different. And if the dollar actually accounted for why games are priced the way they are then that still doesn't explain why the EU and Australia pay such higher prices for games.
