I noticed that http://www.newegg.ca was recently registered. Anyone know if there's anything to this.. or is it just Newegg sapping up the domain?

NCIX is really the only one worth going to. With their sales (which are on ALL the time..) theyre the cheapest in Canada. I think they'll pricematch anyone in Canada as well..

Fuck, I was going to order from TigerDirect.

Thanks so much. That's exactly what I was looking for last night.

They're a bit iffy on the pricematching from experience.. and far from the cheapest in Canada, even with the sales. Great service though.. I would recommend them to anyone.

Well everything I look for is cheaper or atleast the same price on NCIX. Not to mention theres seems to be alot more to choose from on NCIX than those other places.

Oh.. and the actual site doesnt suck. =P

Yeah, the site actually has an excellent forum too. The administrators are always hanging around there.. which tends to thwart some of the pricematching potential.

Ncix is great, I've never had a problem pricematching things with them, they've always accepted the price.
