    Is the PC games market gone arseways totally? Gamestop's PC games section is muck, PC world seem to have hardly any anymore and HMV/Virgin are very poor as well....is there anywhere that stock loads of PC games any more? Edit: In Dublin! :)

    Probably because you can get most stuff 40% cheaper on t'interweb.

    Probably would be the similar for music, except that everyone who plays games by definition has a PC and is probably more PC literate and more likely to shop online. Plus you're probably more likely to go in looking for a specific game, whereas with music you're more likely to end up browsing and picking up something else.

    [I swore I'd never buy another game in a Dublin shop Christmas before last, when my gf bought me a present that was too high spec for my PC. Returned it the week after Christmas, sealed, and they wouldn't refund it. Not that they had to, but I would have expected that to happen a lot around Christmas and it would have been a decent gesture.]

    e.g. Stalker: Eur 23.49 online. At least 50% more anywhere in Dublin. It's worth waiting 5 days at that saving
