Hi everyone, I have been shopping for a while online and have been through many of the sites that have dozens of products but the range is somewhat to a limited extent. I did not found myself pondering around and was left with a few choices. I have my interest’s mainly in games (I just love them) and would like to check out some of the new stuff available on web. I would like to know the places that you people do your online shopping from.

What do you mean, "you people"?
Just kidding, I'm not really sure what you're asking about, I'm assuming english isn't your first language? The post is a little jumbled, but strictly from your last sentence I'll derive that you're looking to buy console or PC games over the internet.
I do all my shopping at Gamestop, in store, but should they not carry something, whether it be rare or whatever, I usually go to Amazon.com. I like Amazon because it's quick and cheap, and it isn't as elaborate as ebay.
If you're wanting brand new games as opposed to used, I would still suggest Amazon, because if you shop from a dealer you're almost definitely going to either pay face value or more. Don't forget shipping either!
If it's a PC or next-gen console game though, make sure to check the official site because some games you can pay to download and save a quick few.

I've always used Amazon. I'm sure they probably aren't the best service, but I've never had a problem with it at all and the customer support is pretty good from my personal experience.
And if it's PC games you want services like Steam (http://www.steampowered.com), GOG.com (http://www.gog.com), and GameTap (http://www.gametap.com) are fast and usually fairly cheap compared to retail.

When I'm shopping for games online I generally use Half.com, or Gamestop.com. Amazon is ok, but I'm usually able to find most games cheaper on the other two sites.
