Why does Amazon sell games so cheap?

I dont get it? is it some kind of shady business where they pirate games? what do they get out of selling games so cheap?

An extremely successful company like this is able to minimize the profit out of single items because they sell many of them. By that they gain even more customers and in the end the profits rise. That's basic salesmanship.

dang, I feel so relieve you told me that, i was beginning to think the worst. Thank you, now i know amazon is a safe place to buy some games:)

Amazon's always safe and reliable to buy, except for a few items that shouldn't even be allowed to be ordered on there, but that's a different story. Not too long ago, I did get four games from there, all brand-new and for good prices. Good times!

You find used games at a lower price on amazon than at gamestop.

Amazon also offers bonuses alot of the time like $10 towards another game.

True! I purchased Enslaved a couple of weeks back from one of their lightning deals for $25 and they also included $10 off a 12-month XBL subscription, too bad I didn't need it at that moment.

I just bought Enslaved from Amazon for $25, minus my $10 credit for pre-ordering GT5. Fifteen bucks :D Free shipping and no tax either.

No offense OP, but it surprises me that someone who knows what Gamespot is didn't know that Amazon is one of the most reliable places to shop on the internet. JML897

I dont know what OP is, but I guess thats me:P

I always knew amazon excited but didn't know if it was a shady website:(

Amazon can sell at lower prices as they buy in large quantities and can get a better wholesale price thus passing savings on to the customer with lower retail prices. This is kind of like how Wal-Mart works.

Amazon is a safe place to shop and usually get stuff to customers within 3 days or so. Amazon isn't the largest etailer for nothing.
