General Chat / RE: Canadian Dollar

It's cheaper now to buy things in the US.   Look at most games for instance.  After conversion it might be the same if you to buy a game in Canada
BEFORE tax.  But ah after tax it's very different.  In BC we pay 14.5% tax, compared to Washington, which is like 8%(not too sure on exact
percentage but should be right).  Save like 6.5 % tax, not inconsiderable amount.  Plus gas in washington is cheaper too, fill up on the way back

And just like oohhboy said make it a mini road trip.  Not like we go across border to buy one item only.  It's good to go to US and look around once
in a while.

TalkBack / RE: Enter the Matrix Sells Like Hotcakes

Tirade.  Now there's a new word for me.

But yeah Enter the Matrix(PC) reeked.  How they managed to make such a crappy game to take up 3.4GB of space is beyond me.  The movie part  is
1hr,and with divx format shouldn't take more than ~400 MB.  Game took 3GB?  Amazing how inefficient coders have become..
It took 10 mins to install.  And 5 mins to UNINSTALL.  *Sigh*
