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.

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

Few items are cheaper, gives another option for price matches at NCIX. :)

$85 for a Sonata III case could be pretty sweet if it's what a person is looking for. But I'm not terribly impressed overall. Going to have to watch those taxes - could break a bargain pretty easily.

Definitely a place where I'll price match or buy stuff when NCIX is out of inventory.

Kind of anti-climactic. I thought there would be some kind of gate crasher specials or some fanfare at least.
