There's only an inch or so up here in Ontario but I'm intensly jealous of 85 temperature in late November.

I'm curious if the SSD are advertised as measured in binary or metric storage capacities. Most platter HD's are  put out in 250GB but this one is 256GB which is a binary measurement (eg 2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256).

Anyone know?

Its fine that it comes out in January, there're too many games out right now to enjoy them all when exams are so close.

I'll gladly pick it up in January when I have more spare time.

PhysX is nice too since I have SLi 8800GTX's to put to good use.

This is first thing I've heard of being offered here in Canada before the US.

We only got newegg.ca a few weeks ago, bringing some much needed competition here.

Last paragraph: "Should if you" change to "Should you"

I like it, it finally switches the tables and gives pirates a worse product than the paying customer.

Although, the pirates will probably find a way around it and then everyone will be playing the same game which is still better than pirates playing superior DRM free games now.

Seems like a novel idea but that thing is way too big for me to actually consider it.

Up here in Canada the best plan Rogers offers has a 90GB bandwidth cap for $55/month.

So before you start complaining start thinking of the poor Canucks north of the border just scrapping by on a measly 90GB cap. I'm sure there are some worse stories from Europe too.

But seriously, they're just giving a defined limit to something that they've been enforcing covertly for awhile anyway. At least they're giving clarity to the situation.

Is it really that bad people? Really, c'mon. 

Its a large amount of bandwidth for most people, if its not enough for you, shop around and take your business elsewhere. If this is the best/only service available then start budgeting bandwidth like you would your paycheque.

It's entirely doable. Just remember that people around the world get by on less.

Man, I just realized, this argument could be applied to food, oil and credit too.

Your welcome, although, I can't remember which podcast it was. I think he said it while answering a reader question if that helps.

All I want is newegg to come to Canada already! Come on guys we need some tough competition up here!
