The Gamesman has stores in most big cities and an online shop-

OK. I've not referenced gpstore for comparisons before and rarely have the
money to buy new-release games anyway. I've just noticed that, on the odd
occasion when I do buy a game, DS tend to be cheaper than the other places I
see them (Warehouse, Noel Lemings etc.) and then I get the 10% discount as
well, unless they're already advertised as being on 'sale'.

I'm not a hard-core gamer, just letting the OP know of my experiences buying
games, as per his question.

The complete lack of evidence is the surest sign
that the conspiracy is working.

Oh, by the way, most mail readers ignore everything after a line
containing "hyphen, hyphen, space". For some reason, yours doesn't.

GP is always worth a look, since they also have 2nd hand games and really
really good specials at times. I have seen them under-bid, but rarely.
