HO Soccer of North America carried the best priced goalkeeper equipment from gloves, to balls, to kits, to other training equipment and they even had a Kid's Shop too. We're not sure what happened to them but their website www.hosoccer-northamerica.com does not come up any longer. As a result, we have removed them from our website.

MovieBuffs.ca offered you unlimited DVD movie rentals for just $25.00 a month. It would appear as though they did a good job as MovieBuffs.ca has teamed up with Zip.ca. So, if you had an account with Movie Buffs, your membership will officially end once you return your outstanding DVDs to them. Upon return of all outstanding DVDs, Movie Buffs will refund customers for any unused portion of the month that was previously paid. Movie Buffs is inviting their members to join Zip.ca. MovieBuffs.ca has been removed from our website but be sure to check out Zip.ca!

SkinEFX.com which labelled themselves as the largest supplier of Console skins on earth for XBOX, Playstation, Gamecube and Gameboy Advance does not seem to exist any longer. Their domain name now gets redirected to a site called DecalGirl.com which does not provide Canadian pricing. As a result, we have removed them from our website.
