Online PS2 purchasing, need opinions..

(this post applies to the Yanks)

I've found that it's cheaper to buy PS2's from online stores than it is to drive 3 miles from my house and buy one from Walmart.

Reason, sales tax. If it's shipped from out of state, you don't pay tax. (which is about $16)

But, the store I've been using ( EBgames) has a product limit . What are some good stores to buy from online ? ie - free shipping, or cheap, fast shipping

Thanks guys.

Move to Oregon and you don't have to worry about sales tax. Buy.com sells PS2s with free shipping. I buy stuff from them all the time. Never mind... limit of 1 PS2.

Damn, no good. They charge me tax.

I'll check pricewatch. They show the location of the store. I'll have to buy out of state.

Amazon.com has no limit but I tried putting in 10 PS2s and they charged nearly $100 shipping but no tax, but probably cause of my Oregon address.

Bestbuy.com has free shipping but a limit of 3. That's probably not good enough huh?

My fav DD game is probably DD2. I played the hell out of that game and beat it uncountable times.
