    The sticky at the top of the forum covers mainly console games. I want to know where is the best place to buy US PC games online? Psychonauts came out last Friday, and I want to buy it. Its not out in Europe for a few months at least, so I want to see if I can pick it up online.

    I tried Amazon.com, but they don't ship PC games outside the US. I checked eBay, but they only have PS2 and Xbox at the moment.

    DVDBoxOffice.com have it, but I hear they're slow to deliver.

    Any other suggestions?

    you should try gamestop - www.gamestop.com. they ship through fed ex or ups so you might have to pay a certain fee on delivery.

    Not for PC. There is no shortage of places to buy this on Xbox or PS2. I want the PC version.

    well whatever you do do NOT go with gamestop, theyre a nightmare with extra charges, DUTY, then a charge to process duty then VAT, and VAT on the charge also, insane, you end up paying twice the price play.com are good if they ahve the game in stock
