Sony just sent out a press release stating on May 1 there'll be a price adjustment for Canadian PlayStation Store customers in response to the strengthening Canadian dollar. The prices will be adjusted in phases prior to the regularly scheduled update (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/psn-thursday/).

Although it wasn't in the press release, we spoke with Sony and have been told that the adjustment will lead to "price parity" between the two countries. Meaning that something which costs $5 USD in the US PSN will cost $5 CDN in Canada. Enjoy the equality, Canada.
