    The MSI GT627-218US has been deactivated for the Canadian site as of this writing.

    That's weird. What does that means? If mine doesn't work when I'll receive it, next week, will he be exchangeable against another 218US? Well, I know none know right now, but still, it tickles me that the laptop I bought monday is now disabled on newegg...

    They emailed back about the price difference. Here's what it said...

We will issue the refund in the amount of $65.00 back to your original source of payment when your order has been delivered. Please reply to me once you have received your laptop so that we will post the refund in a timely manner. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

    prepseb its crazy how the 218US is also only 1299.99 now. a gt725-074US only costs 1349.99 with free shipping. Man... msi is a steal for the performance. Too bad the touch pad is so bad.

    I assume in a about 3 months that the US will be at about 1-1 with the Canada dollar. Let us wait till then :D

    But now the 216US has the same video card that the 218US.

    The only difference, I think, is the screen, the battery and the Blue-Ray drive.

    Both of them always had the same video card.

    The differences are: Screen Resolution, Battery, CPU, Blue-Ray

    Hey, I was wondering, where is the 218US on Newegg CA? What happen? Will they receive more?

    The US version still have it.
