GetGamer Shop

So there's this game I'm looking for, and I can't find it anywhere. Then I see the post about GetGamer Shop on the front page, and decide to see if the game I was looking for was there. Amazingly, it was! By the way, the game I was looking for was Katamari Damacy.

I looked at some other games as well, and they were a few dollars less than they are at most stores. Katamari Damacy was $18.95 and stuff like Metroid Prime 2 was only 45.95. Of course, there is still shipping and stuff, but you get my point.

Anyways, I just wanted to say that it's great. (Also, if this belongs in the Feedback forum, please move it. I posted it here, since it's not really suggesting any thing)

but do you guys actually buy the stuff and then ship it to us or does it link right to amazons shop and the item u click on?

I'm glad you found what you were looking for, and at a good price, too!

When you purchase through the GetGamer Shop, you're actually buying from Amazon. Amazon handles the order processing and shipping for us, you get a good deal, and help GetGamer grow!

We chose to affiliate with Amazon because they are one of the best known and trusted e-commerce sites on the internet.

Tell your friends!

You can trust Amazon much more than eBay, in my opinion. I personally have purchased thousands of dollars worth of products through them over the past seven years, and I've never had a problem. They are reliable and have a great return policy, as well.

All purchases are currently made through the U.S. site, but we will be adding support for the UK soon.

I trust amazon more than Ebay. They had a programme on about it over here and one of the stories was that some guy won an auction for £4,000 for a motorbike. The address for the cheque was in London, but the bike was in Africa. He sent his cheque and lost his £4,000.

Also, some 18-year-old tricked people into buying stuff he didn't have. The kid made £45,500 out of ebay. He was still doing it after he was caught and only stopped when he was put in prision. Amazon is more secure and you're buying off a company, not an individual.

*holds head in hands*

Amazon ARE the company. When you buy off ebay, you buy off an individual. It is a lot less risky buying from a company like amazon.

I have never got spyware off amazon. Maybe thats just me, but I doubt an established mainstream company would use spyware. It sends out the wrong image.

I'm glad theres gonna be UK support. I'd like to try the shop out.
