Common Question - Best online shop to buy Xbone/PS4 games (Aus)?

Hey guys,

Stupid question, I'm sure you get it every day so apologise for the repetition.

I normally buy most of my Xbone and PS4 games in store but basically getting sick of lack of stock and massively jacked up prices, Aus just isn't very good for games these days unless you buy direct through Steam - consoles can be a bit raw although I still prefer since my computer is a bit all over the place.

Anyway, my question is, whats the best green man gaming or whatever equivalent these days? Something selling preferably new (negotiable I guess), decently priced games that get delivered to inner city locations within a few days or so?

Or do I just get something off ebay and run the risk?

Any suggestions? Horror stories? Anything would help, even if it's just where not to go.

Cheers.

Great game. Not actually looking for game suggestions though. more online retailers to buy games. Ive finished bloodborne multiple times though - it's a banger.

Edit - That being said, if people wanna throw decent free games or betas out at the moment at me I'm happy to factor those in. I know BB is free this month.

TBH i just purchase through PS Store / XB Marketplace.

You wont get any discounted prices but you get the game straight away (or in case of most Aussies, 3 days time once its downloaded).

For in store purchases I've actually found Big W and Target to have some competitive prices for physical games, just depends if there is a store that stocks games near you.

Haha I actually have NBN and download pretty quick. But its so massively overpriced, like 99$ not worth when I know its out there for like 50-60.

Also yeah not keen on going in store, wanna sort of buy and forget online and get in the mail later in the week. I could buy online based on promos but tbh just too much work - I'm fairly certain there are third party sites with decent discounts out there as there were a few years ago when I was a bit more active, just trying to track back the ones which are dealing decent prices/good speed/quality - I'm sure they are out there.

Yeah can understand that 100%. There are a heap more shady operators out there now so once you find a good one, keep it handy.

You can look on eBay, but I'd strongly suggest sticking to sellers that use PayPal so you have some buyer protection in case they aren't the real deal.

I usually buy through the Microsoft store on the xbox, no problems so far.
