I tend to find my local JB Hi-FI is the cheapest for games, they always have lots of stock as well! After the trouble i had with my 360 from EB Games i will not go back there ever!!

Gamestop and Eb games are pretty much the same thing, well they are the same thing.

all that really needs to be added is /gamestop after eb games

I go to EBGames, because their shops look the most official..but I do agree that they scam you a heap! But I only buy from them when the games are on sale or there is a cheap way of getting the game; otherwise I shop around.

I buy all my wii and ds games at a game shop called entertainment center, they always have everything and they never run out of wiis, it seems as though the whole world is suffering from wii shortages except Newfoundland. I laugh at their suffering. Anyway back on topic, I buy my xbox, pc and ps3 games at EB games though because it's my only other choice.
