Doing one day air shipping, cheapest and best provider to ship me a video game?

[dcpsoguy]

I want to buy Road To Rome, the Battlefield 1942 Expansion pack. And I look at Amazon, which is what I usually use to buy things online. It's $14 bucks for overnight shipping.

Then I look at EBGames.com, and it's like $9 for overnight shipping.

I am probably going to use EBGames, but do you guys know anybody better, cheaper and reliable?

Gogamer.com has always been a good option for me.

Just checked....they are offering Road to Rome for $17.90 & Fedex 2-day shipping for $5.99 = $23.98 TOTAL

And how much does their overnight cost? I don't wanna sign up till I know what their rates are.

I don't want 2 day shipping though, I want overnight.

Wouldnt it be easiest to go to a store and get it RGHT NOW? Or is that not an option?

It comes out on the 4th, so no.

And Electronic Boutique(the store) gets it on the 5th, so I want it a day earlier than they get it.

Does it SHIP the 4th? Or is it IN STORES the 4th? The dates on EB's site are ship dates... not the day they are in (most) stores.

It comes out on the fourth, like Amazon says:

Availability: This item will be released on February 4, 2003. You may order it now and we will ship it to you when it arrives.

Ok, so when they release it(aka ship to retailers) on the 4th, Amazon will get it on the 5th just like everyone else, AFAIK.

Pretty sure thats how it works.

This usually means they will GET it on the fourth, and if you have over night shipping, you get it on the 5th. Thats what happened with EBGames and UT2k3
