Inflation strikes again!

[Dust2dust]

I was about to order something unrelated on Amazon, and got this message when I reached the cart page.

Absolutely disgusting! It's Canadian money, but still. I hope nobody pays these ridiculous prices. And to think that we are heading towards a media-less gaming world in a few years. Everything will have to be downloaded, and that means people will need big hard disks if they want to be modern gamers.

That's BS because of AI companies cause storage device's price skyrocket up far like crazy! AI companies are very rude to us and people! Also affect RAM, GPU, CPU and storages like HDD and SSD too. Sad news!



I doing biggest collection to download massive files like video games (PC, Nintendo, Playstation, Android, etc), movies, programs / apps, operating systems to put on my all hard drives.

That is most likely a different seller charging more because Amazon sold out. Not exactly inflation as it is scalping.
