Well, its not going to happen overnight. Retailers up here will milk the 'normal' higher prices for as long as they can until people take notice.

Right now, retailers can say the current stock was purchased when the $ was lower; they can say they're not certain if the $ will stay higher, etc. A million and one reasons to milk it for as long as possible.

I'd say by the new year, if the CDN $ is still on the rise and surpasses the USD$ by a bit, we'll start seeing some decreases in prices on things.

Other than that, enjoy the cheaper eBay purchases and WoW subscriptions
