Sony to adjust PlayStation Store pricing for Canadians

A few weeks back we posted about Sony hinting at an upcoming price cut for Canadian gamers. Looks like it's going to come true as of May 1st. No word yet on exactly what the price adjustment will be, but my guess still says par. Here's the official word;

In conjunction with the PLAYSTATION®Store weekly update on Thursday, May 1, Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) will adjust pricing for downloadable content available through the PLAYSTATION Store for the Canadian market. The adjustment comes as a result of the strengthening Canadian currency and SCEA’s ability to localize pricing within the PLAYSTATION Store. SCEA will execute the adjustments in a phased approach prior to the regularly scheduled PLAYSTATION Store update, with prices adjusting during a window of time prior to the scheduled update on May 1st.
"We are continually looking for ways to enhance the player experience on the PLAYSTATION®Network, and downloadable content through the PLAYSTATION Store is just one of our areas of focus," said Grace Chen, Senior Manager for the PLAYSTATION Store. “We anticipate that this price adjustment will meet the expectations of our Canadian consumers and provide them with a better PLAYSTATION Network experience."

UPDATE: I've just received confirmation from PlayStation Canada PR rep Kyle Moffatt that the price adjustment will in fact put the pricing even with the US price. Sweet.

Wow, Sony doing something right? Did someone warn them that April's Fools Day was a month ago?
