    Where do you buy your games?

    My new computer is on the way now, and of course I am looking to start playing some games that I couldn't with old crappy system. Basically I haven't had anything past StarC and Counter. I'm wondering where you all get your games? Just from BestBuy? Is there an online store that is extra cheap? I know im getting WC3 and the expansion and maybe more after I decide. So if any good deals for me too look out for would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I usually get mine from CompUSA or Frys. However, if I can find a good deal on the internet I'll order from there.

    * Intel Pentium 4 2.4C @ 2.88 (12x240)
    * ABIT IC7 w/1GB PC3500 DDR

    * Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro (440/370)
    * Raidmax Black Mid P4 350W ATX Case

    Ditto, plus when they have their 48hr madness sales you can usually get pretty good discounts on the games they have going. Not only that but their games are usually cheaper than any retailer anyways.
