Christmas is coming and I am planning to spend some money online for gifts.
I think many of us are, I just thought this would be a good topic. I have used
pricewatch.com but they seem to be going down the drain, the other big
ones like pricegrabber.com,nextag.com etc are all promoting whichever store pays them
the most, it is hard to really compare prices.

New startups are plenty such as www.PriceComparison.com, outsmarted.com, crazydeals.com etc..
but they lack the number of stores and products...

What do you all use?

Thanks

Pricewatch. And newegg. Newegg's not a comparison site but you know the prices will be inline.

I've actually never used any online comparison sites.

Pricegrabber, though froogle more and more...

Oh, and for DVDs: www.dvdpricesearch.com <-- I often find better prices there than anywhere else since they ONLY do DVDs.

I buy in this order: crucial > newegg > mwave > amazon. I also use CDW for bigger computer things that newegg doesn't have.
