Question: Why the fuck is it that in USA, an xbox live membership is $50/year (USD) and has more services (last.fm, streaming netflix etc...) and we're stuck paying $73 USD!!!
I don't mind paying more for obvious size/distribution reasons, but please at least offer us the same services!

They charge more because of the bullshit you have to deal with when doing business with Canadians. I mean look at you right now. You upset and complaining, being a real pain in the ass. If you asked politely and used a little reasoning. I bet you could call up Microsoft and get the price lowered.
You'll catch more flies with honey...

So what exactly is it you did on the Xbox?

Would you feel ripped off paying more for an inferior service, provided by a company which is not solely American, but with Canadian divisions as well?

The fuck, go fuck yourself you smug douche.
You're just a dick. Enjoy your pedestal, I'm sure the view is great.

You all realize hes trolling right, I mean why give him the satisfaction of responding and whining?
Note: 99% of all ignorant and retarded comments on reddit are trolls, next time stfu and move on.
Taxes
On a service like that, taxes would not justify such a price increase.
Even if he lived in the province with the highest taxes he would still pay less than $60. The fact of the matter is that Canadians and pretty much everyone else around the world to a larger extent are the victims of price discrimination.
