I don't buy from Amazon but I do buy from overstock.com and some times I buy some under 20 buck games at Wal mart.

I purchase items from Amazon all the time and have yet to have a single problem with them. So long as the items are labeled as new, you'll be ok. While I was stationed overseas in Italy a few years back, they were really one of the few places that sent packages to an APO address. You can do a bit more research and asking around, but I'd give Amazon 5/5 on my part.

i get the shipped by amazon options. the 3rd party options im sure are fine but i haven't found the courage to use them yet. only because if something goes wrong you gotta deal with them not amazon ( correct me if im wrong). but most of them get 95% to 100% positive feedback!

The only thing I don't like is they only ship standard shipping to PO box's, but that's a small nitpick, items ship pretty fast anyway. Be a little wary if they ship from a private seller off Amazon as they can take a little longer sometimes. Otherwise yeah, Amazon is awesome.

Amazon is incredibly reliable, fast, cheap and convenient. Just make sure you're not buying from the Amazon Marketplace, which is pretty much an over-priced eBay.

I buy most of my games from Amazon...as long as its "ships from and sold by Amazon.com"and not a third party seller on Amazon...shipping is free over $25 if you pick super saver shipping and it still comes within a week or so.. the third party sellers may be fine but they usualy get you on shipping...I have only bought books from third party sellers off Amazon..most of the time the game prices or better from Amazon if you choice the free shipping...

If your not paying attention a see a good price check right under the green In Stock text. It will say who it is the seller if its not Amazon check on the right of the page and you will see "more buying choices" Its got me before didnt notice until I went to checkout...

I buy from the store when I want a new game. I usually just rent from Gamefly, there games are cheaper than stores to buy but they're used so I don't do it. If a game is worth $60 I'll buy it new.

I haven't bought games on amazon, but I have bought from play.com. Some games are 40e cheaper than here in Finland!!! Usually new games are about 10-20e cheaper... and little bit older are 20-40e.

Amazon is an awesome site to buy games from. Extremely safe, good prices, and shipping is relatively fast even if you get the free slow shipping. My favorite place to buy games from along with Play-Asia.

Amazon.com is an amazing company. There customer service is amazing and they ship quickly. If there is a problem with the item when you recieve it they will replace it. Just make sure that you watch who you buy from if you are using the amazon marketplace and not amazon directly. I buy tons of stuff from them and they have never let me down.

Don't leave out New Egg, besides great shipping time, their prices on some of the newer games are usually pretty good.

I have 18 games for PS3..

9 from Amazon.com

3 in store from Toys R Us during a buy two get one free special

2 from Newegg.com

2 in store from Frys

2 in store from Best Buy

So I guess I get half of my games from Amazon..

I've bought probably over a hundred videogames on amazon. If the seller has good feedback (90% and over is preferred for me), then I get it. I usually only get games that are listed as very good or used-like new. It's a great site. 95% of my orders have been perfect, and amazon is completely safe, it's where I get all my used games, cds, dvds.

Amazon is as legit a site as you'll get. I've bought tons of stuff from amazon, including many games. Their prices change around a lot and sometimes they just have really good deals. The only thing you should be at least somewhat cautious about is when you search for stuff, you can buy from Amazon (usually) or new from other warehouses, or used from individual sellers or stores. Just make sure the place you're buying from is legit. If you buy directly from Amazon then you're good to go. They're a very trustworthy site.

Same here. Never had any problems with them, and I always save money, even if it's just state sales tax.

Next to the secondary vendor if it says "Fufilled by Amazon" then the order it self is carried out also through amazons department. I noticed more and more other vendors on there have this now. I have ordered from Amazon themselves, the Secondary vendors (.35 cents a foot HDMI cables FTW) and also from amazon market place. And I have not had an issue yet.

Well the official PS Headset is $45 on amazon.

As far as Hubba Games goes, yes they are reliable. I've bought my brother's Mario Kart Double Dash from them a while back and it came new and in perfect condition. But if you still don't want to get it from them, you can buy it from Amazon for $3 more... (you have the option to buy it from different sellers on the right)

If you buy from a seller on Amazon instead of Amazon directly, make sure you check their feedback rating. And also check how much feedback they've received.
