If I could sum up the major thing I miss about living in the US, I would say it's the relevance. There are all kinda of cool things happening in the tech world that are functionally only in the US. In this case the CAG Price Alerts it was cool when I lived in the US but up here getting alerts means pretty much nothing when the sales are rarely multinational.

There's not a lot to explain it's pretty much all there in the above paragraph. Just click here to sign up if you don't mind my referral. I would love to find a place to put price alerts again. Is there another site everyone is using or is this a potentially awesome find
Example:
Catherine is now $30 at Amazon.ca lowest price it's been yet.

Could use some work obviously. It would be nice to know what retailer has that price listed before you click but still it could work. There's a lot of noise. My search for inFamous 2 didn't find the game. As you can see here it found all the bundles and special editions, even inFamous 1, Catherine, Batman AC, the guidebook, the soundtrack, and not the game. You really do need to search by ASIN in order to guarantee you find the games. The site is a touch noisy if you just want video games. It also accommodates movies, music and all the rest.
Even in the video game section just scanning what appears to be a "recently updated" list has an alarming large amount of accessories. Since it's cross platform that means LOTs of 3/DS/i/L and Wii (Fit) all in [insert number here] sets and charging cables and such cluttering up the list.
Also I might have to dig a bit to verify the accuracy. Most glaringly right now is Def Jam Rapstar
They list it for $49.99
Which any one of us knows is insane. That game dropped to $30 and $20 ages ago. It was selling for $9 for months. I hear it's down to $4/$2 currently. Heck even the website selected (Amazon.ca) shows the price at $15
GH:VH a game I would possibly consider at
