Do you guys not go to Amazon.ca? Free shipping on orders of $39+

See the post above, I save 10$ even with free shipping from amazon.ca

EDIT: Actually, I save 10$ + the GST/PST

Well the GST/PST is touch and go. Usually anything under $40 just sails through, but anything over that you will sometimes get it going through the brokers. Then they collect the GST/PST on behalf of the government, and add their own fee for collecting it (plus GST on the fee). That just burns me to no end.

1. They are collecting for the government -- why am *I* charged the brokerage fee?

2. How does Ontario (or any other province) have the balls to charge an Ontario sales tax on a sale that takes place on US soil?

Anyhow, I think that even $3 shipping fee (for items 2 and up) is too high.

Yay, I just got my 360 for $200 tax included from a guy I know. Game on, buying NHL10 tonight, have Assassin's Creed already.

It's weird, I've used amazon.com for 2 years now, and usually it's around 100$, never payed any extra...

The game you want is called Mass Effect (and Mass Effect 2 in a few weeks)

not sure if any of you guys are into PC games much, but I had to post this here as I am a huge fan of Blizzard Entertainment and all they do, especially the Diablo series. They are finally bringing in the 3rd installment of the battle against Diablo and the other prime evils.

If you're in to Role Playing, Oblivion is also alright.

It makes me sick it's such an awesome game. Play it, then go and watch an NHL game. The flow of watching both and eerily similar. I LOVE it.!

I still have to bide my time, a PS3 is not in the budget yet, damn car falling apart around me is to blame this time.

aargh! My PS3 bit the biscuit, so there is no point in me getting NHL2010. I have to wait for Sony to fix the Diddling thing, so it could be weeks before I get my 2010.

You must be really unimpressed.

I don't know, I'm bored when I play NHl games .

I think I'm too used to the stress/adrenaline of an Uncharted or a Call of Duty.

I'll admit to having an epic game just now. 5-4 Rangers over the Sens, they scored with 3 seconds left. I almost threw the controller out the window - but it's so amazingly addictive. The games only take 15 minutes or less depending on what setting you use. I would...suggest you try it again?

definitely set the difficulty level up higher than normal, plus I am certain NHL10 uses the new controls, the ones with shots being taken using the analog controls, well, on PS3 that's what they are anyway, the L3 and R3 buttons technically, I found it tremendously addictive to try and get used to those controls, losing a few exhibition games along the way until I got more comfortable, and even then, I am still not 100%.

There's a game on XBOX Live called Braid. You might wanna check that out SpezD. A small 2D game that will change your life, cost like 10 bucks.
