Shipping is usually free, and unless you live in CA I don't think they tax you.

Tax is barely anything when you're shopping at $9.99 abd below though.

Wow, there are some amazing deals on there. It's like the Steam holiday sale all over again.

Except this time the deals are here to stay, or until they run out of stock.

Newegg is awesome. They are by far my favorite online retailer. Not only built my PC with their parts but usually buy my games from there as well. Oh, and their 'free shipping' is actually good unlike Amazon where my last order took well over 2 weeks to arrive. Newegg's free is usually 3 days or less.

I do buy a lot of Steam games (over 100 on my account), but unfortunately live in WA so they get to hit me with the sales tax. New games are always the most expensive there for me, although I sure love to take advantage of the sales.

Yeah, I think I bought about 10 games during Steam's holiday sale in December. They are my go to for games now because I'm really tired of disks...... and driving through a blizzard to visit Best Buy. As for Newegg not getting any love, that's just not true! I can't remember the last time I bought computer hardware from anyone else. Now if they would just expand their downloadable games selection.......

The TC was talking about Newegg not getting any love "when it comes to video games".

Not when it's 9.75% here in LA county, CA, that's an extra dollar I could use at McD's!

Newegg are my gods. I order almost everything from there. I remember when I bought my PS3, I needed Uncharted 2 and a PS3 for $355 shipped (all I had in my Paypal account). I really didn't think to look to Newegg so I scoured the internet and every site I could think of trying to get what I wanted and it just didn't seem like it was going to happen. But lo and behold, I decided to check Newegg and they had exactly what I needed and it would only be exactly $350.

Newegg is cool, but...I work at Micro Center, which is like nerd Meca. So with my employee discount, it really can't be beat.

It won't be so funny when something happens to your Steam account and all your games are gone. I'll still be playing with the disk in the tray.
Don't get me wrong, I love Steam but I like to own my games.

So when they jack up my account, they are gonna take my games and.... play them? I hate them drive by gamers.

I am sure there are a few horror stories floating around, but I am the one with the matching credit card (changing to my Ron Pearlman voice) and money, money always wins.

Disks have the same type of problems. They can get scratched up, you can lose it, or they can break. (I had a Win98SE disk that exploded in the drive, once.)

Although, the scale of loss is a lot smaller with disks. If you lose your account you lose everything in that account. With a disk, you just lose that one game. Regardless, they aren't going to lock your account without a reason.

A lot of people like the actually own their games and be able to collect them. I love steam, but all the games I have on steam I would rather have a physical copy of.

Can you play those dvds as games, without running steam? No, they are data discs, for backup purposes only.

I think some dude on here actually made a "Steam Unlocker" because he hated Steam. I never bugged him about it though, although I'm sure you could find it or something similar on the web.
