Thanks for the code, but your right, nothing special.

Prices are still high though, example Seagate and Samsung 640GB both for $90. Crazy, even higher than ncix. This doesn't look all too good, I'm not impressed.

Yeah the prices are high, I prefer the prices at Direct Canada instead.

Looks like I'll be sticking to NCIX and sister companies due to their cheap shipping and no PST. Newegg just isn't worth it.

Very true.. I didn't even notice. No water cooling stuff, is newegg really asking for trouble. I'm afraid NCIX with Price Match ability might totally eat Newegg alive. People usually buy hardware from where they can save the most money, and get the best deals.

It is yet the first day, I hope they get better with time, price wise.

this is for people who don't know about ncix guys.

We've been spoiled to have been blessed about knowing about ncix and etc.

but for those who don't know.. newegg will be fine.

It does show, that everyone who thought NCIX prices were high (especially compared to the USA), and didn't offer competitive enough prices

Even the famed Newegg can keep up with what they offer and maybe there is a bit of truth about higher product costs for Canada.

NCIX is king ...every E-tailer should follow their model of Price Matching...VIP membership...Premier Partner......a solid forum membership....great shipping options...and on and on. They set the bar pretty high for everybody else it's one company I am glad dominates e-tail in Canada because they do a good job and their sales really really kick ass. damn we should just start a thread where we can start The Gospel Occording to NCIX...and on the first day he said let there be sales..

Some prices are better than NCIX and some are not. Since I'd have to pay PST. I'll just shop at NCIX where I don't.

The shipping prices aren't better than NCIX.

I am honestly surprised by the prices. Not nearly as bad as I thought. I see them stealing sales with sale prices, but nothing earth shattering either.

What benefits are there for the VIP at NCIX (besides the contact danses )?

not impressed at the things I've been looking at. All the 640GB drives are incredibly more. Same goes with 4870's.
