Where's the best place to buy PC games ??
Can be online or B&M. Also, is there any kind of software price search engine or something available ?? I want to pick up Nascar 4 but I can only find it for 50 beans. That's a little steep for me...

Or Frys.....
But nevermind.. I just noticed you were in Maryland and Fry's don't exist there.
But Best Buy, Eb, and CompUSA (all mentioned above) are good places.

I find that www.compuexpert.com doesn't have the best selection, but what they do have is priced very well, and items ship quickly. They also have a 48-Hour Madness e-mail special that changes every week or so, in which they will offer new and not-so-new games at a greatly reduced price for a certain period of time. For example, right now they are offering Independence War 2 for $19.90, when it normally retails for about twice that. The e-mail is by (free) subscription, and it's definitely worth it. I've also found good deals at CompUSA, and Best Buy has good prices sometimes.

Second the vote for compuexpert. If they have it, they have the best price, and since they have their own warehouse (99% of online stores use a distributor), it's definitely going to be in stock.

Thanks for all of your replies. I'm going to keep my eye on Compuexpert. In fact, the game I want, Nascar 4, is only 30 bucks there !! Problem is, it's out of stock. Wonder how long it takes them to restock because that's by far the best price I've seen ?
