Add shipping & full Canadian taxes and it becomes expensive again.

In my opinion so-so deal.

I swear I've seen this card for less than $350 after MIR in the recent past. The BFG one though, not the EVGA.

Why would anyone buy this when you could get a GTX 285 for the same price.

LOL I remember doing stuff like that too. The other day I was cleaning my room. I'd pick up random peices of paper lying around my room, check it to see if its important, rip it up, and throw it in the garbage.

Well the other day, I pick up the recipe for the prescription glasses that I recently bought, I take a quick look at it and proceed to rip it into tiny lil peices. As I'm about to throw the peices of paper out, I realise that I was supposed to pass the receit along to my insurance company.
