Do you buy your video games from the US?
Considering the current exchange rate, would you buy your video games from US online retailers, or do you happily surrender to your favourite (least despised) Canadian retailer the extra $10 they ask for?

No. I haven't exactly paid full price for a game in a long time though. If you're on RFD there's really no reason you should be paying $80 for games.
Yay to EB Trade 3 for Free

I only buy on sale.
However, I have yet to see a store that can match FamilyVideo (US internet site). I have used them a few times and I pay US prices and only $0.99 shipping. Usually the border dudes just let me through since it's under $50.
YMMV of course and I do NOT suggest smuggling it across. Having a 5year record on your "file" sucks bigtime._______________
From a "Family" reviewer: "We Cheer teaches coordination, enticement to lust, women being used as sex objects, and team work."
From Worthy Playing: "We Cheer is, then, for all intents and purposes, the F-Zero GX of music games. It asks for so much, yet forgives so little. It is actually so casual that it's hardcore." Reply With Quote

Absolutely. Amazon.com shipped to a Blaine mail box means never having to pay $10 over the *real* cost or 13% tax.

I either grab mine when there's a sale or on eBay. Either way, I usually save some cash.
Wal-Mart is now dropping the prices of Canadian video games to match US prices, so because of the Canadian dollar at parity it looks like high game prices for Canadians will be over soon. Reply With Quote

Oct 22nd, 2007 07:54 PM #9When does the RV 2/30 deal typically occur? I know the 2/40 came out during the holidays, but wasn't the 2/30 last summer? Originally Posted by Lone_Prodigy
