University Exp - $14 cheaper in all Canadian stores vs Origin client.
Another expansion and again EA via Origin is charging Canadians $12+ more for a digital purchase then what they charge for their newest expansion in retail stores.
To clarify, the Canadian retail price for ALL Sims 4 expansions (including University) is $39.99, this is EA's official suggested retail price, not a sale price. However due to auto regional pricing the EA digital Origin client charges Canadians $51.99 plus some random $2.60 in tax (which btw makes no sense, its not pst, gst or hst). Costing you $54.59 for a digital purchase if you go that route.
Buying a physical copy in Canada will save you $10+ after tax no matter where you live in Canada.
The game can be purchased for $39.99 usually with free shipping or bought in-store at places such as ebgames/gamestop, Amazon, Walmart, Bestbuy, ect, ect. Most of these retailers will have the game release day, pre-orders usually arrive a few days early to your house.
Outside of a easy digital download, there IS NO advantage to buying on origin, you don't get an early release, you can't pre-load and there is no extra bonus. Unless you live in a very rural area with no shipping or it will cost you $10 in travel fees of course.
It just really annoys me that Origin/EA is still charging more for their expansions online then in retail stores in Canada.
So if your looking to save money without waiting for a sale, this is the way to do it for Canadians.
