I'm looking for opinions on what people think are the best places to get the best deals for video games. I know usually multiple places cause of sales etc.
I was looking at the Best Buy video gamers zone? You get more points than the typical reward zone plus you get 500 just for reserving.
Amazon seems pretty good but right now my only address is APO and it'll probably take forever to get here.

I usually go with amazon. A lot of times when you preorder, they give you a 20 dollar credit for your next purchase

Never Gamestop...ever.
I've had good experiences with Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. Hell, Walmart had free Doritos and Mountain Dew for the Reach launch.

They are a terrible, terrible company. Many times when you buy a "new" game from them it's actually been opened and perhaps even used before. Throw that onto their ridiculous preorder policies and you have a shit company.

If you buy just 3-5 major titles a year, you should be able to constantly cycle $20 credits, no tax, and cheap release date delivery charges (99 cents for me usually).
This year, bought MW2 for 60 with $20 credit, buy Battlfield, $40, get new $20 credit, buy Halo reach for $40, get new $20 credit, and I pre-ordered Black Ops when they had the $20 credit available.
