I bought like three movies online, but I mostly buy my things in the store. Now I'm planning to buy a TV online from Ebay because the prices are cheaper. By the way, those movies I bought were friggin cheap (The Departed [2-Disc Special edition] like 4 bucks, Planet Earth was 25, Street Fighter II was 4 bucks). Plus I just recently bought a game. Lost planet 2-Disc special edition for 11 bucks.

So what have you bought online? A Tv, movie, games, furniture, a car? Tell your stories.

Most of my purchases come from the internet. I buy clothes and such, not TVs or anything really pricey.

I buy everything online. It's cheaper, and easier. What's not to like? You even don't have to get out of your house.

I bought the components for my PC online, all 800 quid of it. I'ld never touch a high street shop for computer parts, TBH i'm unlikely to go to any high street shop for any electronics i care about i also buy all my music, games and movies online.

Newegg is great for PC components. I've never seen anyone ship faster. Their customer service is great as well.

It's 2009 and you're talking about online purhases like a novelty!?

let me have a quick check of when some things first started.....

amazon - 1995 (14 years ago)

ebay - 1995 (then called auctionweb) (14 years ago)

I feel the need to use the word dude here.... Dude your 14 years behind!!!!!

That is one awesome trick! I buy everything online that I can. Usually find it cheaper if you look hard enough and some places offer deals like free shipping, etc.

Iknew about thisYEARS ago. I'm 19, but when I was 10 (year 2000), It didn't occur to me to get my PS2 online, I was thinking about other things! Give me a friggin break man!

Novelty... I just started doing it, and I was just curious as to how many people in the Gamespot Community have bought things online.

I'm a birit so i use OCUK. Over here we don't really have any PC shops that sell performance components and the ones that can order them in for you severely overcharge so online is the only realistic way of getting them.

The only thing I don't buy online are groceries, although I could if I wanted to. Hmm, maybe I'll give it a try now that I think about it! I also pay all my bills online. It's just so quick and easy. Writing checks and licking envelopes is sooo last millennium.

I buy comics from milehigh about once a month or so. I've bought plenty of other things as well. I still go to stores for the experience of browsing and instant satisfaction though.

I've bought a few games online, if you count buying Day of Defeat on steam, and paying for half of an iPhone/iPod Touch game or two with my brother.

I guess the iPods I have were ordered online by my parents.

I mostly buy my college textbooks online. It saves hundreds of dollars compared to getting books from the store on campus.

Ive bought just about everything over 50 dollars I own online. It started with clothes, then video games, my computer, my HD TV, my PS3, even my motor cycle! I do very little shopping not online... Mostly clothes and shoes I buy at an actual store.

I do most of my shopping online. With clothes, it allows me to find more unique shirts, and with games, it saves me the hassle of getting a ride to the store. I can also usually find cheaper prices on games online.

Amen to that dude! My freshman fall semester spent 750 on books... My roomate told me he got his all brand new online from an outlet dealer for 1/3 of what I paid, and he took all the same classes I did except one other.
