PlayStation Store - Image 1Good news if you're from Canada! Now that the Canadian dollar is slowly gaining steam against the weakening U.S. currency, Sony Computer Entertainment of America (SCEA) has announced that Canada will receive price changes for its downloadable content this May 1.

As early as mid-April, SCEA Senior Vice President Peter Dille said over at the PlayStation Blog that they are already "looking to correct this discrepancy." Action has been taken indeed and here is the official confirmation from PlayStation Store Senior Manager Grace Chen:

I am excited to let all of our Canadian gamers know that we will be adjusting prices for downloadable content available through the PLAYSTATION Store for the Canadian market as a result of the strengthening Canadian currency vs. the US dollar. WeÂ’ll be executing the adjustments in a phased approach prior to the regular PLAYSTATION Store update on Thursday. On May 1, prices on all downloadable content should be updated.


Now, Canadians are in a better position to enjoy the perks of the new PlayStation Store, which recently had a revamp this April. Stay tuned here at QJ.NET for more of the latest news.
