I singed up. That would be awesome to win 5000 bucks to spend on a very very very high end comp!

That is the lamest Counterfeit I have ever seen it's so obviously a gag bill who the hell would think that's real.....Maybe the Clerk just really didn't care.

Yeah, but if you read through the article, it's not the only one that's been passed around..... :)

I just received an email about the "beta" side of newegg.ca and had a look around.
Let's just say I"m FAR from impressed.
Pricing is HORRID.

Sweet. Well, there's one thing I ADORE about Newegg. Their site is so easy to browse compared to NCIX. I hope this forces NCIX to finally update their site and make it easier to navigate and find particular items (hell, so much of their stock isn't even categorized!).

Edit: And yeah, the prices don't compete with NCIX at all right now, especially because of my PP. Looks like Newegg has a wider variety of certain items though (like home networking stuff).

I actually like the way NCIX works more, in terms of browsing and item finding and stuff.

Newegg.ca prices are WAY over expensive. Some stuff are cheap though....But the two taxes + shipping. I think I'll stick with NCIX for the time being.

BTW, anyone notice how there aren't any MIRs yet?

Anyone know where their warehouse is?
Not like I'm paying PST (Alberta FTW), but I'm wondering how it'll affect someone in BC for example.
