    Thought Canadians might like to know. Newegg went live today. Apparently prices ar reportedly higher than their US counterparts but hopefully this will be rectified soon! ;)

    I looked at Newegg.ca, and they are expessive even by Canadian standards.

    Canada want a good deal?
    www.memoryexpress.com ! is the way to go. is almost always cheaper and I have purchased many things from them...
    16GB OCZ USB flash drive 40$ (sales off so now 50)
    550 Watt power supply 65$ (January 2008)
    120GB IDE HDD (100$ w years ago)
    last weekend they had the 9800GT GPU for 120$!!! (newegg want I think over 170!

    Edit:
    here's a 9800 GT (they price is higher now than it was but still a good deal) 144$

    If you scout around deals in the US, the 9800 GT can be had for around $100...

    Prices are a bit disappointing, even for Canadian pricing and adjustments. I guess I had too much expectations for Newegg.
