Amazon.ca is rewarding Canadians for a long year spent keeping the Ice Spiders from invading America with a huge list of discounted video games for the valiant warriors to amuse themselves this Boxing Day.
The discounted games went on sale this morning at 12AM Pacific, and run until 11:59PM or supplies are completely depleted. The list is rather huge, with every game system represented, including the Gameboy Advance. Particularly nice deals include the Gears of War 2 Limited Edition for CDN$ 41.99, Wii Speak for half-off at CDN$ 14.99, and Grand Theft Auto IV for the PlayStation 3 at only CDN$ 39.99. While I cannot begin to comprehend how much those prices are in our American dollars without alt-tabbing to a currency converter (a tremendous amount of effort), the numbers seem to reflect significant savings.
Of course the sale has been on now for a good 10 hours or so, so there's a good chance much of it is gone. Hit up Amazon.ca to find out for yourself, or check out the full discounted game list below. Remember...Boxing Day is about giving gifts to the less fortunate, and if you skew your perceptions just right, you count.
