General Chat / Anyone else find this place slow?

« on: February 07, 2003, 10:53:28 AM »

Well do you? I mean the pages seem to take forever to load! I know this is free and that they don't even have to have this forum - but it seems to be very very slow. I mean it takes 15 - 30 seconds for a new page to load, if not longer! I dont think it's on my end because all other pages load quick as usual, just this one.

On a side note, this place looks great and I hope the speed issue is looked after. The layout, sections and feel of this place is great - I look forward to posting here often in the near future!

Nintendo Gaming / A Question for Canucks

Grey Ninja, I do feel your pain man, I to live in Canada and it's a pain in the @ss ordering from anywhere online.

I thought the pre-order thing wasnt going to be in effect until the 14th of February so I waited until 2 days ago to call my local EB and order the game. The guy on the other end of the phone told me that I could pre-order but all the disks where gone and or spoken for so I was S.O.L.

I couldnt think of anything else to do so I went online to the EBsite and as you know it's all in american funds and it says clearly on the page that they will not ship to Canada. So I call up the number anyway to find out and sure enough - they will ship to us, but they cannot ship the demo disk ahead of time because of some stupid thing they worked out with UPS. But either way - get it from EBonline if you really want that disk, I know I did - and that's why I bought it. All together it works out to about $95 Canadian and that's with taxes and shipping included.

As for Skies of Arcadia - my girlfriend and I just picked it up at our local Wal-Mart 3 days ago here in Ontario Canada so make sure to look around - it's here in Canada for sure!
