News::PlayStation 4 price increased in Canada

Sony has confirmed to the Toronto Sun that the prices of the PlayStation 4 will be going up effective March 15. The consoles were $399.99, but will be $449.99 going forward. The camera and Dual Shock 4 controller will also see a price hike, from $59.99 to $64.99.

The reason? Sony stated that it's "to respond to changes in the market environment.” The PlayStation 4 has been hard to find across Canada, and this really doesn't help matters at all. These price hikes also follow the increase of prices for PS4 and Xbox One games back in January, from $59.99 to $64.99.

News::Year Walk Review | Geekenstein

"Even now, after playing through it myself, Im still dumbfounded that the games home platform is a phone that could actually incite feelings of dread and provide so much more than simple jump scares. Simply being a horror focused experience with a decent, let alone fantastic, narrative end, puts it further than most horror titles. Whether its on Steam or iOS, Year Walk is a must play for horror fans and an easy recommendation for those not offput by the genre. Do yourself a favor and play Year Walk. Preferably alone in the dark with a good pair of headphones on." - David Rhinehart of Geekenstein
