Canadians get price drop of $150 on PS3

That's right, kiddies!

Sony has dropped the price of the PS3 in Canada to $549.99 which is $150.00 less than the original price. With the Canadian and American dollars almost at par, Sony decided to drop the price for the PS3 in Canada to the prices of the US PS3.

This was a smart move by Sony and hopefully Nintendo and Microsoft will do the same for their consoles. As it stands now, the Nintendo Wii is still $30 dollars more in Canada and the Xbox 360 Elite is $60 more. If I didn't already own the system, I'd drive 20 minutes across the border to buy them and then smuggle them back just to save the extra $90.

I doubt we'll see a price change since both systems are selling well in Canada which leaves no reason for the companies to drop the price. But maybe the companies will think about matching the Canadian game prices to those of the US market. Please?

eBay or Etsy? Where to peddle my crap?

So I tried to hook myself up on Etsy.com today to start selling my fused bead magnets, coasters and keychains but their sign up process hates my creditcard and won't let me sign up.

So, should I try to sign up for Etsy.com again with my creditcard holder's help or sign up for a $15.95 store on eBay?

Etsy.com is a better place to sell my stuff because its all handmade items and people are specifically looking for handmade items and there isn't a monthly store fee, but eBay stores have roughly the same listing fees and I can use my paypal account instead of a creditcard.

Want should I do? Etsy or eBay

Miss Video Game continues to fail

This morning I checked my email to find a message about Miss Video Game. One of my fellow writers wanted to promote some of the Dtoid readers that had made it into the top 48 (note: it was suppose to be the top 50 - I guess two girls dropped out after they made into the top 50) which is all good but one of the other writers noticed some familiar looking articles on their front page.

Miss Video Game was using the Destructoid feed to post our articles but there was nothing at the top of the feed to indicate where the articles were coming from. When I emailed the people behind MVG about this, they quickly remove our feed and replaced it with Gizmodo's feed. Of course, they are still not citing a source for the feed, just linking each title to the original story which makes it look like the articles are written by them.

[Update: I guess my email to the editor at Gizmodo was worth it because it seems MVG has finally credited Gizmodo at the top of the article column. I guess Gizmodo sent them a letter asking them to give them credit too.]

I also loved the fact that they still haven't responded to my email. I guess they'd rather remove the feed instead of apologising for not giving our site credit for the stories. How unprofessional.

I still can't believe this company still continues to screw up almost everything they do and yet girls still remain in the contest. I noticed that even the final contest between the final 5 has been pushed back from June to August to November now. I believe even the final 50 competition has been pushed back from April to sometime in August.

MVG has also decided to hold the final competition at Festivale Arcadia instead of holding the event on their own. Apparently doing this is going to make the contest seem more legit in the eyes of the 20,000+ gamers attending this festival. Yeah, ummm ... And G4's Girl Gamer contest made it more legit being on a cable TV station and where is she now?

This contest is so badly run that they can't even get their act together to run each part of the contest on the original dates set. I can't believe after all this time, they still can't get it together.

[Please note: I'm not providing links to the site because I refuse to provide them traffic any more.]
