I don\'t use it for video games unless I can\'t get it anywhere else.  Gamestop.com and Software Etc. are the same company, and they have one near me so I\'ll pre-order GT3 and TM:Black there.

On the other hand I bought almost all of my new PC parts online.  Just better prices.  Always check for shipping b/c that\'s where you get bit in the ass.

If you buy from out of state you don\'t have to pay sales tax either.

I am going to buy from the uk,so the shipping is 38 pounds 50p,which works out at about 25 dollars,which isnt too bad,so in all the game will cost me about 60 pounds in all,but i need to see if the delay is really happening,or if people have been miss informed,so if anyone can confirm that GT3 is delayed till july then please let me know.

Thanks for your time Ethan_Hunt

p.s i still want to know how you all get on with web shopping?

I\'ve bought two games (Tiger Woods and ZOE) online through EBGames.com.  My local Best Buy has basically sucked ass lately with regard to stocking PS2 titles, and I have few other software options around here.  With the shipping included, these games have costed about 1 dollar US more than they would have had I picked them up here and paid sales tax.   And in addition, they are hand delivered to your door in two business days.  I pretty much plan to buy from them all the time from now on...

As of Friday\'s closing, the British pound was trading at 1.4333 US dollars.  That means that 38 pounds 50p equals US$55.18, not $25.  If the entire purchase is really 60 pounds, it will cost you US$86.00, which is more than the $49.99 plus tax, let\'s say US$54.11 it would cost in a store in Los Angeles.  Sales tax varies.

Why are they charging 38 pounds for shipping?  Those snap cases are small and light.  Have \'em send it to me and I\'ll ship it to you for much less.  (I promise (https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcwm.ragesofsanity.com%2Fcwm%2Fcwm%2Ffreak2.gif&hash=0984c96fd854316e4756fa8829888037e34055e4))

Gamestop is a very cool place to order from IMO

I have had nothing but positive experiences from them including getting my PS2 from them on Launch day

The only two places I\'ve ordered from are Future Shop (http://www.futureshop.ca/) and EB World (http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/default.asp), and I\'ve been completely happy with both.
