For those Canadians interested in either the NR70 or 70v - go to ecost or something similar and get it from the US - you will save up to $120, depending on where you buy from. Futureshop and sonystyle.ca are overpriced compared to ecost shipped to your door in Canada.

At best, you'll save about CDN $50 -- if you're lucky. ecost has this at US $595 -- which is CDN $954 at 1.6 conversion (about average right now). Add in taxes and you're at the CDN $1100 mark -- ghu help you if you have brokerage charges to cover.

But you have to remeber to watch ecost for discounted prices on both the Nr70 and 70v - The NR 70 lists for $499 yet when you checkout it is discounted to $469 - it is only $30, but that will cover off some of the handling or sales tax.

I would suspect if you wait a month that you will see even better pricing on the NR70 - and a similar trend with the NR70V - the 615c was discounted $55 when I bought mine from ecost. So with that in mind - if the NR70v ends up costing me $100 less from ecost I am willing to wait an extra month or two.
