I switched to Amazon almost 5 years ago and it's been nothing but great. Amazon typically isn't as good with older games as Gamestop. I've been buying quite a few last gen RPGs recently, and the used copies are normally lower priced on Gamestops website than Amazon. Like Fire Emblem 9 I got for 24 bucks including shipping and taxes using Gamestop coupons and my membership card, while it was like 28-30 bucks on Amazon. Skies of Arcadia I got for 19 bucks on Gamestop, while it was 35 on Amazon. And of course the amazing buy 2 PS2 games get 2 free deal I've been abusing. That's kind of ridiculous, as there's plenty of retailers that sell games, and if Gamestop dies, another company could take over, hopefully one that's better.
