Canada has implemented a new tax savings from December to February for some things like taxable groceries, crafts, and gaming physical media. I wanted to get a new Xbox controller and found the best price at Walmart for $55 a week ago. The tax holiday starts today and I now see that the $55 has increased to $62 and change, which is about how much tax I should be saving. Great to see this thinly veiled attempt to help Canadians ( /s - win votes) is just going to be extra profit in the corporations' pockets.

I would support Canadian Tire over Walmart.

That’s more than mildly infuriating.

Talking point bots will blame Trudeau for this.

If the controller was $55 yesterday and $62 today there would definitely be shenanigans, but a week ago? It could just be that a sale ended since you last looked.

Anyway, I don't see $62 Xbox controllers on their site, checking from Nova Scotia. Official controllers are the usual $70-something and there's PowerA brand for $55.

They are ridiculously expensive to begin with, thus my waiting for a special occasion to spend that much money to get a first-party one. Here it is, probably priced lower than the others because of the ugly colour that I kind of like.

That controller is the same price on Amazon, and Camelcamelcamel shows it went up to that on Dec 6, Friday of last week. It was probably the same with Walmart.

Report them

How?

I have not been able to find anything about restrictions to stop the price gouging.

It's a by province thing, search customer protection [province]

Not buying a new controller until Valve Ibex releases. If one of mine breaks before then, it'll be replaced by an inexpensive 8bitdo 2C.
