    Hmm, that's odd. I'm getting:

    Amazon: Guild Wars + Pirates! = $91.48 + $5.97 S&H = $97.45
    Fry's: Guild Wars + Pirates! = $79.76 + $4.83 (Starting price) S&H = $84.59 + Sales tax for Nevada ( )

    Perhaps Fry's is charging you (out the ass) a state sales tax as well:
    My numbers was an estimate and yes I live in CA so probably got hit by the sales tax.

    The werid thing is that Pirates! supposedly came with free shipping so that means I got charged about 20 bucks for tax on both games and S&H for Guild Wars only.

      I thought Amazon was free shipping for orders over $25?

        Traidtional stores if you use them frequently, often give discounts in order to keep their regulars happy and coming back. Giving freebies is an old practice, hence the term, Baker's Dozen.

          What's the problem here? If Amazon is costing people more, they won't buy there. I think most people do comparison shopping online and don't stick to one retailer.

              Now I need to be banished to Mingapulco for my horrid transgression in mutilating the English language?

                  Yeah, Ted. Nearly same thing happened to me today. I wanted to buy two games so I compared prices on Amazon and Frys sites.

                  I don't remember exact numbers but basically it was like this:

                  Before S&H:

                  Amazon - $95
                  Fry's - $70

                  After S&H

                  Amazon - $97
                  Fry's - $95

                  Shipping can suck ass in terms of price. The best part, IMO, of buying at Amazon is if your order is over $25, you get free shipping if you don't mind waiting a day or two more (it never takes the full amount of time they say for Super Saver shipping).
