Almost two months ago, Newegg became one of the latest online retailers to start taking payments with the digital currency—but only in the U.S. Starting today (August 26), Newegg, which sells electronics, is extending this payment option to its Canadian customers.

"Newegg is deeply committed to growing its business internationally ­- serving customers overseas, introducing new products from key Asian markets and evolving the way we transact with our global customer base," Soren Mills, chief marketing officer of Newegg North America, said in a news release. "Extending bitcoin acceptance to our Canadian customers is yet another important milestone as we build the company's international presence."

I saw the blurb and was tempted to buy something
Had a bit of a problem getting the offer to work though but I was happy to see the option there for people to use it and that it is the 7th panel on the main page.
75 Off 300 150 off 500
And it works on gaming consoles the problem is that I find that its 75 on 500 and does not work on 300 for some reason, although it might be because they don't like Gift additions even if you can't unselect them or preorders.

Let the bug work it's way off and continue to please make purchases from Newegg. Much obliged my friends.

I figured it out I was trying to buy an Xbox 360 and it came bundled with four games as gifts and other things non optional.
Coupon said it didn't work on the gifts although they were more less obligatory
Tried the Xbox One the White Version which is a preorder
Coupon doesn't count preorders to the total even when trying to pay up front so no go.

Tried it with other things couldn't get an Xbox 360 since both are the holiday pack no other choices, but went with the Black Xbox One it works fine so not bad at all.
350 Dollars for a 400 dollar Console can't find a better deal anywhere else since those are fixed priced items.
(Technically its 75 for 300 so at 400 its 325)
(150 for 500 so at 500 its 350)
So another 100 dollar item for 25 bucks  
Good stuff.
