to the above person, you aren’t too bright. It’s $25 off normal ipods, and $15 off minis. I checked futureshop.ca and they seem to be advertising this as a sale and not a price drop, and only iPods have been affected, I checked the prices of other DAPs and they remain. Also it should be noted that at futureshop the price of the U2 ipod has dropped by $50 to $450. So any prospective ipod buyer yesterday who was willing to shell out $430 for an ipod can now get a U2 ipod for just $20 more.

Canadians piss you off? What?
Are we the nation that chose to elect Terrorist George W Bush to a second term? No. We’re the nation who said no to your illegal invasion of a foreign country. And we piss you off? The American Arrogance that they know better pisses me off.

I’m from canada, I just bought an iPod from future shop yesterday, before taxes it was about 380ish, and I think I got a couple bucks off because it was an open box. Either way , I fugure it was a pretty sweet deal.
