It didn't really matter to us. DirectCanada has better prices then newegg most of the time anyways. It just has a smaller selection, in which case you can use NCIXs thing to match prices with Direct Canada and have a selection about as big as Neweggs.

of course, natural for an successful American company to eventually come to up the border. I guess they just waited until the CAD to rise enough to match the USD.

If we still get our regular bad canadian prices, I'm sticking to NCIX/DirectCanada

w00000000000000t can't wait... that'll add more competition to the canadian etailers, which should in turn equal close out sales adn lower prices all around
