EB sucks; I saw Mario Kart for $44 CDN there and it was $25 at Zellers and Future Shop! What a ripoff.

Also, Costco. 'Cause they only sell crappy bundles.

 Best Buy and Walmart are the best in prices... EB and Gamestop have more variarety (they are gamne shops...allkind of game available)

some stores that have nothing to do with games suck at selling them (like costo and music stores...there are stores liek that in my town XP)

Wow I can tell most of you just went to Gamestop or Eb Games. Have you guys been to Costco? They suck! There's a small variety of games and the prices are totally wrong. I went there a few weakends ago and saw Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter for 40$! It's like they never update the prices!

Eb games I've seen charge up to 15 dollars more for a game than any other place, costco is bad because they have lame titles that in general suck, never heard of 10,  and the worst place as for as selection is sams club, they only have like 3 games from each of the new systems, the rest are unhead of/crappy titles.

Yeah. And I don't like their idea of selling you a 'new, game that looks just like a used one.

What I like about Toys'R'Us is that they have 2 for 1 specials every few months in my city. For example, I actually bought Zelda WW and Paper Mario for 30 CDN$.

I've always shopped at EB Games or GameStop, and I almost always get the used games. Now I'm having second thoughts. Hmm...looks like I'll have to do some driving around and checking out stores. Target is a good place, but they usually only have the brand new titles, not the old ones. They're weeding out the GameCube games. While at EB Games, there's TONS of used xbox games, PS2, PS1 games for cheap....you cant really beat the prices if you want older games.

Walmart or Target because no one usually goes there to buy video games and they are the first to bring there prices down.

I live in subarb of chicago also and i say gamestop is best except sometimes at a mall next to me when u buy a new game they take a cartridge out of the area where they keeped used games and get a display case box and put it in there. I payed full NEW price for FFIII 2 weeks ago same price at target but i got display case. I was in the Target of that mall earlier in the day likke 30 mikn before they had it for same price not the beat up display case!

no idea whats 10 but costco is the worse, the games come in this horrific plastic case and it takes a nuclear bomb, two chainsaws and a hired samuri to open them. pricing is the same everwhere where i am and i actually like target and best buy for games, they usually have the one i want, EB and Gstop stores are just to cluttered and smell funny, toyrus is good... demo kiosks are always up for 360 and handhelds almost always. dont really go to walmart or circuit city so yeah... i saw a fry's once but never went in, looked good though.

Circuit City by far has the best prices. EB / Gamestop are DEFINITELY the worst. There is no arguing this. Horrible stores that rarely ever have sales and overprice almost all games. Not to mention their return policy sucks compared to any other store listed.

I think it depends more on where you live. Some places just have rude employees. :P
