If you are Canadian, be happy to know that you will be getting exactly the same Wii as your Yankee brethren. But what about pricing? While American and Japan have a nice symmetry with US $250 and 25,000 yen, Nintendo of Canada is charging CA $279.95. And how much is that in American money? It's exactly US $250.24, which will put a stop to any border-crossing Wii raids. Damn them.
