Best Place to Buy Video Game Consoles?

Just curious which retailer everyone prefers when they buy consoles?
For example, Best Buy allows you to return a console for any reason, within the return window.
Amazon allows you to return if the console is defective (but not just if you change your mind and the package is open).
PS Direct reserves the right to reject a return if the item appears "used," etc.
So where do y'all prefer to buy your consoles?

I bought my PS5 through Best Buy only because they had it in stock.

If I were buying a console it'd probably be Amazon because I could get 5% cashback with my Discover card this quarter. Not being lazy withstanding, and without that quarter of the year, I'd go to Best Buy.

They are the same price everywhere right now so wherever it is in stock.

If you're on a Samsung the wallet gives great cash back deals as well. I've hit almost 10% on many purchases

Nah, just getting ready to do some holiday shopping for my nephews. I typically buy consoles from Amazon, because I have the Prime card that gives 5% cash back, but was just curious to hear which retailers other people prefer.

If you want the best return policy then you would buy it at Costco, 90 days no questions asked.
If you need the accessories that Costco usually packages the console comes with, then that is usually a great deal
