Octopus Overlords

I am considering purchasing a game online (it may be discontinued at this point) and I need some recommendations for WHERE to purchase...

recommendations appreciated based on - good deals and range of selection please...

GoGamer does seem to carry a lot of stock - especially in their bargain section. You can find some really good prices in the bargain section if you're patient enough to just sort through the 100+ titles they usually keep on that list.

GoGamer will win this poll.

My vote: GoGamer. They have some really good weekly sales, they almost always ship same day, and have good customer service.

Gogamer.com is pretty good, with a couple of caveats. Their $1.99 cheap shipping is relatively slow (media mail), so if you want the game within a week go for the standard $5.99 shipping. Also, they do sell quite a few import versions of games (even games that also have regular US releases), so be sure to read the item description carefully in case that is important to you one way or the other. I specifically bought the uncensored import version of Vietcong from Gogamer.com instead of the censored US version, but other than situations like that where the content is different, I like just having the regular US release to avoid later confusion with patches, etc.

I've also ordered from ebgames.com, gamestop.com, and amazon.com (esp. nice if you can get the free shipping) fairly recently and have never had a problem. For older/harder to find games, I will also check ebay.com and half.com, but I don't bid/buy unless I am very comfortable with the item description and the seller's feedback. Newegg.com is a great retailer and has some games, but I think their selection is fairly limited.

The one...the only...GoGamer.

Gogamer if I want something new and soon.Amazon for older,slower (free shipping) purchases.

Agree with the consensus. GoGamer is the bomb, but I cherry pick Amazon and EBGames as well.

Now and then I buy old games at:

CDAccess.com

Interact!

"older game" gogamer
"game I want as soon as it's available" - ebgames / gamestop

Generally Gogamer is the best online. Generally good prices, fast service and it also offers some imports (although people should be aware that sometimes the major games will be non-US versions. eg, I got a European version of Pirates!, and it apparently didn't have the map that comes with the game). It's selection isn't the widest, though (eg, Supreme Ruler 2010 isn't available).

I would like to find a good place that sells games to the US from Europe. IThere was a good online store that used to do so (the name eliudes me at the moment) but it closed.

At first glance, this site appears to ship overseas. You might wanna check it out. I have bought a grand total of one game from them, for delivery to the UK, but there were no problems.

I will be a rebel and say GoGamer.

Thanks for all the replies...

I'm still boycotting GoGamer after they screwed me over on my last order.

GoGamer or Naval Warfare Simulations (which has lots of games besides naval, war or sims).
