Nope, but I've bought a few games from newegg and they were the same price, or lower, with shipping.

while eBay does have a lot of nice deals, it also has a lotta scammers. i'd try to buy locally. sometimes its worth the extra 5 bucks just to get it from a respectable place.

Newegg has a small selection of games at good prices but I usually buy PC games at Wal-Mart or Costco. They have good prices. I buy Xbox games at GameCrazy.

I generally try to buy my games from massive supermarket-style places like Big W and such in Australia, as they tend to offer them cheapest

Shipping is quick and painless. I don't know about returns, I've never had to return a game to them. I get a lot of games off their '48-Hour Madness' sales.
