Actually, other than their own branded Amazon stuff, I've always found much better deals at Walmart or Target, and sometimes Best Buy.

I've completely given up shopping at Amazon.

It depends on what you need, really. Amazon has a ton of products from every sector of the global economy. Best Buy has lots of electronics, but more for the mainstream purchaser. A store like Microcenter does have electronics, but is geared towards people that really know what they're looking for - my local one has the back third entirely dedicated to PC parts. I put mine together from there. Amazon will never be able to replace window shopping.

Maybe, maybe not. I no longer buy electronics from Amazon because of the return policy, which requires either a defect or an unopened box. Thus, if I buy a computer gadget and discover after opening the box that it is too small, too large, incompatible, insufficient power, wrong color -- whatever - I am pretty much stuck with the product unless I want to pay a significant return fee. Such returns are not an issue at Best Buy and Best Buy will match the Amazon price.
