Best Buy is where I'd go, Wal-Mart's console containers look a bit beat up sometimes or opened like someone's actually played them and put them back in the box.

nothing beats good ol Game Crazy, that place is so faithful to there customers, plus they always offer good deals unlike gamestop >.> other then there though I like going to target, they always seem to have a nice selection (since not to many people buy games there they are never out :P)

Anywhere that offers extended warranty, or just buy a cheap one used and replace it when it peaces out.

I'll stick with Gamestop - where I know and trust the people I am buying from.

I don't know who is running Amazon and I have had bad experiences with them but never with my local Gamestop who I know I can trust.

I know the people that run my Gamestop and i can trust them.

I don't trust Amazon they have ****ed me a couple of times and I will never shop there again. Do Not advertise here.

Fry's and Best Buy are not bad either - I go to them mostly when I buy for computer

I've always loved purchasing console's at Best Buy with their replacement plans. If the console ever just decided to brick then I would just take it to the store and get it swapped out in 5 minutes. Also, with my original Xbox they gave me the price difference back in store credit for a price drop that occurred from the time I bought my system to the time it died. I also love craigslist. I bought my 40GB PS3 back in January of 2008 for $275 which was a full $125 (30%) off of retail price and it was in near mint condition.

Exactly, found it funny the only place he trusts is Gamestop. I would consider Newegg too since i get all my computer stuff there.

Bestbuy. I remember the story where the mom bought a DS for her son at Walmart and found a box full of rocks in it.

Or when a family bought their kid a PS3 for Christmas and had a phonebook in it instead. They bought it from Best Buy.
