best mail-order for video games?

I was wondering what some good sites were for ordering video games. I live 160 miles away from Best Buy etc., so mail is usually my main option. EBGames.com is good for getting here fast, but by the time I pay shipping and tax, I'm looking at $60+ for a game. I'd like a place with reasonably quick shipping (on release date) at around $55 by the end of deal.

EBGames.com and Gamestop.com

Both have daily deals, often involving free shipping (2-day and 1-day). Be patient, check the site once a day, and eventually you'll find a deal that works for you. Then, you're getting the game fast...and only paying tax.

Outpost.com has been having great deals on pre-order games as of late. Check through the cheapassgamer forums to find some of the best deals online. Also EB and gamestop typically have a free overnight shipping deal on pre-order games.

They're still around (chipsbits.com), but I haven't ordered from them in years.

How are they with shipping times? They have Halo 2 for $39.99 shipped (mentioned in another thread).
