Personally, I prefer off line, no credit card required, you can touch the product before you buy it in a shop, feel the quality, read the back of the box.
On line you are wholly dependant on the presentation of the seller, but the advantage here is that you can view demos more easily and there is a much wider product range available to you.
Certainly both types of shopping have pros and cons, travel costs/online costs, you can shop around more easily online, but are the goods going to be all they are hyped up to be?
I think the size of the Gamereserve site speaks a lot for itself, it is popular because I think gameplayers are shifting more towards online buying rather than the shops. It is becoming more "acceptable" to use credit cards on line, but where does this leave the high street retailers; will they gradually move to on line retailing? If so what does that mean for jobs in the gaming retail sector? Good or bad?
