where do you purchase games online?

[metroidkiller9]

i used to get all my games online from ebgames.com. the benifits of free shipping with no tax made me happy to buy games their full price. now with the newly implemented tax and the utter lack of free shipping im at a loss as to where to buy my games online. i was thinking videogamedeals.com would be an option with the lower price and free shipping on orders over 30 but they dont always have the game im looking for. for instance the next game im looking to buy is la pucelle tactics and vgd doesnt carry it. so where do you guys buy your games online? i know i wont get many responses since most people here have never payed full price for a game but i thought id give it a shot.

I just don't. I prefer B&M, I always find better deals that way.

 

[metroidkiller9]

im not really looking for a good deal on this game. i doubt there will be any deals on this game considering atlus' history. im just looking for a place to buy it online w/o tax and free shipping hopefully.

I use ebgames.com. I used to get my imports from gamecave.com.

Well, there's no fix for tax, but can't you just use the coupon "saver" for free shipping at ebgames.com?

EBGames, EBay, Lik-Sang, Best Buy.com.

Actually it comes down to CAG's recommendations and the cheapest prices I can find the game.

thats only for used games if im not mistaken.

ebgames.com, videogamedeals.com, and occasionally gamestop.com... but I do prefer to purchase games B&M especially when they are used

I order most of my stuff from ebgames.com But yeah since they got rid of free shipping I haven't ordered anything from there. With 25% used games, (usually temporary) drops on specific new games from time to time (Buffy at $10 for example) I would order from there 3 or so times a month. At least their cheapest shipping option *is* pretty cheap ($2)

I'll probably wait until I have 3-4+ used games I want to get and place an entire order at once (would it be $2 shipping no matter how many games you get?)

I also just placed my first order with the EA games store, but I doubt I'll be buying much from there at all. Don't think I've ever ordered from BestBuy.com as I can almost always get a better deal B&M using the GGC, or if B&M is out of stock from ebgames.com

And I haven't ordered from gamestop.com yet (except I did get a travel case from them) because they don't guarantee case and manual for used games. Kills the deal for me.

If you want a game from me at VGD but dont see it listed please lmk. I have many resources and will gladly look into getting a game for you.

[CaseyRyback]

even at a better price. I think I will start using VGD more than I have.

The last place I bought from online was Videogamedeals.com

Much love for Defender and that Puzzle Fighter deal.

Free shipping and mini-guide at gamestop.com for la pucelle tactics.

Also i generally shop at gamestop and videogamedepot & nscx for imports and such.

I've pretty much only ordered from Ebgames. The only other place I've ordered from is Target when I got Disgaea. I think Best Buy would be a good place, since they had free shipping, but their game supply seems to be pretty limited or out of stock on the good games.

You can add a cheap used game to your order and then put on the saver code, and get free shipping for your entire order.

alright defender i dont know what kind of mind games you are trying to play but that game was not there when i ran a search for it earlier.
mind games aside, ill still be buying from you.

 

[YoshiFan1]

I mostly use Ebay because right now, the majority of games I buy are import PS1 and PS2 prices and I don't like spending $55-$65 on those games.

Otherwise I use EBGames.com mostly. Because the lack of free shipping and sales tax do not bother me since until last year, the minimum shipping used to be $4.99 from EBGames.com and I have always had to pay tax.

I also use NCSX for imports I cannot find on EBay.

 

[JohnnyDrama]

I've only ordered a game online once, and that was at ebgames.com (ordered used Disgaea). I always prefer buying games in-store, though.

Defender, do older games like SNES and N64 apply to your offer?

Thanks,
