I don't see how GameStop rips people off since they sale their games at retail price. The only thing that is a rip off is their trade in method since they give little for buying your games, which is understandable since they are a business. I don't even sell my games at GameStop since I'll get barely anything, so I just put an ad up on Craigslist.

GameStop's preorder bonuses aren't too bad all the time since you do get something cool. Some games offer retarded things. For example, if you preorder Battlefield: Bad Company 2, you will get some perks early on (perks that you can still unlock later on, but if you want it now, you preorder) and an early weapon.

Amazon is by far the best place to games these days.

a.) they often charge 2-3 bucks less than retail price (i.e $56.99 instead of $59.99)
b.) no tax (so you've saved 6-7 bucks already if you include 'a.)'
c.) awesome preorder deals, especially for big games (im getting $30 in e-giftcards after preordering FFXIII and BFBC2)
d.) the free shipping is fast (2-3 days, they also offer release date delivery)

there really isn't any reason to go to gamestop unless they are running a special deal.

I don't get 'no tax' from amazon... I'm guessing since I'm in NY State. Not sure about other states. Also, sometimes their free shipping is fast, and sometimes it isn't. I find them hit or miss.

Unless you're a dumbass or haven't bought anything from a store, you'd know about sales tax. Yes, I would know since I'm in New York as well.
one thing that sc2 has over bw is the fact that I can actually manage my hotkeys

I've got a question, too:

I live in Germany, but I want to buy an English version for SC2. What page do you prefer for pre-ordering the game? It would be nice if it's going to arrive at the release day ^^


Try amazon.co.uk. They ship pre-orders a day before release and sometimes from within Germany so that's probably the fastest way to get the uk version.

Buy online at the Blizzard store, get your key instantly, make sure you don't get your B.net account banned because you'll lose all your games forever

I don't think you can... at least it wouldn't make sense to me. When SC2 is retail released you'll pay and download then. Why would you want to pay them beforehand?

Probably g2play.net since they'll have it up cheaply compared to the rest of europe or blizzard that charges 50€ instead of 50$

The best way to support blizzard is to download the digital copy directly from them, the day it comes out. The best way to save a few bucks and get a hardcopy is to order through Amazon because they are the most reliable. I'll be doing the digital version, to give Blizz the most money possible.

Not sure that response was necessary. As far as I remember Amazon lost a court case regarding sales tax in NY:
+ Show Spoiler +
Items Shipped to New York State
Effective June 1, 2008, Amazon.com LLC will begin collecting sales tax on items shipped to destinations within the State of New York as New York has enacted a new law requiring out-of-state sellers to collect and remit sales tax based on advertising. Amazon has filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of this provision. However, as required by the law, we must still begin collecting New York sales tax beginning on that date.

In Australia I recommend EB Games. They always do midnight launches and global release times.
