Where's a good store to buy new pc games on their release dates?

I usually buy new console games from Gamestop, but they lag in the pc games department, unless you want warcraft of course.

So anyway, what store keeps up with new release pc games? Is BestBuy any good?

Thanks.

Its really on a location to location basis. I have found gamestop to br great at getting games the day of release. The best thing is to just shop around and you will learn the stores in your area that are best..

Best Buy is actually a pretty good place. I stopped by and was looking for some games and noticed they had 5 copies of Drakensang. And this was when it first came out too.

Well I don't live in NA but personally I use price search to look for the cheapest store. Usually it's some small private firm and the delivery is few days. And if you order it beforehand you might even have it drop in your mailbox on the release date. I would imagine amazon is a good place to start. I don't even remember the last time I actually walked out of a store with a game in my hand, I'm almost obsessed with finding the cheapest offer and price comparisons are a lot easier to do online.
