We as Canadians are accustomed to getting the shaft when it comes to deals and pricing in general when compared to our neighbours in the south. Video game retailers have taken advantage of the fluctuations of the economy and the resulting exchange rate by pushing up the price of new video games by $10 to $69.99. But it is welcoming to see that a highly anticipated title, Batman: Arkham Asylum will be selling for only $38.83 on launch date at certain retailers.

The price reduction was initiated by Walmart, who are also offering an exclusing Batman armour.  Not to be out done, certain EB Games and GameStop stores have decided to price match Walmart's offer. Remember the offer is only for the day of release that is August 25, 2009.
