Good news to all Canadian PSN fans out there! Kyle Moffatt, Senior PR Specialist for SCE Canada has gone to the PlayStation US Blog to announce that the PSN prepaid cards are finally coming to the territory.

Harmonix's Rock Band (PS3 and Xbox 360) has suffered numerous delays, and gamers in Canada may have to go through another announcement of a delay once again. This time, the game's distributor, Electronic Arts, places the blame on the underestimation of the demand for Rock Band in Canada.

Canadians already itching to get down to some serious head banging to the tune of their very own copy of Rock Band (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3), unfortunately, will have to wait a bit more. The rumor mill is again working on overtime: according to some retailers, the Canadian release of the music video game by Harmonix Music Systems has been delayed even further to the 28th of this month.

Curious to know why? Read on after the jump.

Logically, prices of new commodities start to go down after they've started picking up. The universal law of supply and demand, you know how it works. However, it seems that this isn't the case for the PlayStation 3 in Canada. To add more to this rather out of place practice, the apparent change in pricing came after reports of more units shipping back there.

Over at retail store Future Shop's online site, they're currently listing the 6OGB behemoth for CA$ 699.99. It was originally tagged for just CA$ 659.99 or somewhere around US$ 560. On a different note however, it looks like our Canadian friends didn't mind at all as all the units in the said store have already sold out.

So what's up with this? Well, Gaming site GameSpot was able to talk to one Sony Canada representative.

Although the suggested retail price (SRP) of the PlayStation 3 in Canada has not changed, some Canadian retailers have chosen to increase their retail price as a result of the weaker Canadian dollar. This increase is solely at the discretion of the retailer, as Sony Computer Entertainment Canada has not issued a price increase.

Well, if that is the case, we suggest for our friends who haven't bought the PS3 yet to look around first in other stores. In these times, we mustn't underestimate the power of a thirty dollar saving.

The Gran Turismo series is the one racing simulator that holds a special place in the hearts of millions of gamers everywhere. The upcoming version of Gran Turismo that is planned for the PS3 will be a groundbreaking step in the evolution of this genre.

Unfortunately, we can only hope that  this game will be released any time soon! Many of us are still bitterly awaiting the promised release of a version of Gran Turismo for the PSP, but I for one am willing to believe again.

For those who can't bare to place their trust in the gaming industry again, maybe you won't have to. According to Canadian online retailer Future Shop, not only can we expect to be treated to a next generation version of Gran Turismo on the PS3 in a timely manner, we can expect to see "exclusive use of the PSP and Eyetoy brings the realism you expect from a GT game" as well.

Although, the $74.99 CAD (~$65 US) price tag was expected, I was still startled to see such daunting prices staring back at me. While this is obviously one of those topics that should be taken with several grains of salt, here is a retailer that is planning to start selling this game in Canada on November 30 for about 75 dollars.

Thanks goes out to Rashy A for the tip!
