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.

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.
