You'll need to create an account to use coupon codes -_-

 

This'll make a nice game drive upgrade for my main PC.

As is tradition.  I find it's safest to just assume any unlabelled post is US only... that correlation tends to be rather reliable for some reason ?

They're basically a competitor to Amazon AFAIK, the company I work for used to use them for fulfillment IIRC. They should be legit.

How do you know, if it is international then?

Unless it's a game, it wouldn't be since there would be currency and shipping crap involved, and it's pretty easy to tell when it's a game.

Well some deals are even worth after shipping..

My point is that it's a rule/requirement of posting in this section is to mention location and currency.  If it's actually global, that's easy to say too.  But too often people forget, and a quick look through the list will show you that the majority of the time, when they "forget", it's US.

I know right? When I click on a deal missing location and currency I get my hopes up that it'll be a Canadian deal, but once again, I have been disappointed.

Exactly - and rules should always be followed, no exceptions. Otherwise why bother having them at all? Lead by example, and others will [usually] follow. :)

You mean to say we should be thankful that EA doesn’t charge a shipping micro transaction for digital codes?

I probably shouldn’t give them ideas.

What makes those SSD's so cheap. Samsung equivalents cost almost twice as much. Do they have a higher failure rate or something?

With Samsung, like any other top-tier product, you’re paying for name. A-Data may not be high-end, but they’re one of the best mid-tier drive manufacturers.
