Bad news is that it's 2727.99. 500.00 more than the US version.

But that is directly in line with the currency conversion from US to Canadian. Sux, but I will be ordering mine now anyways.

I'm at a loss here. $2,727.99CAD < $2,199.99USD. So in essence the Canadian version is roughly $25USD or $31CAD less than we here in the states pay. How does this sux? Did you expect to pay the same price in Canadian dollars as the US version listed at i.e. $2,200CAD? Heck I would go north to buy one then

BtW everyone that got their W90s yesterday have abandoned us

Not even a "rockin" or a "the sux"

I'm just hoping one of two things happened;

1. Real Life called, and they answered, so they'll get to it when they can,
2. They are so completely enthralled with it they cant put it down.

Either way, we'll know soon enough.

I'm pretty sure they're in shock right now, hence the silience. Shockingly surprised or shockingly dissapointed.... take your pick

Maybe during unpacking the laptop fell on them and has them pinned on the floor with no way to call for help

Serious though I have to say (without sounding all chicken little here) that it is very worrying that save the one BSoD comment not a single word has been said by the early W90 recipients. Its not like it takes more than a second to post an initial reaction and not like these folks are the type that have been shy in the past about talking about the W90 on the forums.

I guess I will go to bed and hope that a little W90 elf posts while I'm banking ZZZzzz. Just hope for the best.

I did the 3 day select thing... I didn't want to overdraw my account- I had been thinking it was a 2000 dollar price tag all along. Had enough to cover it, it was just more than I wanted it to be

I know it works out with the conversion from US to Canadian, but 2200.00 is easier to pass by the wife rather than 2700.00 even though it's the same money lol.

It's all in the optics

I can understand that logic.
