Not commenting on the, "leave [your] house" part, but, discounts? nice? As in "steam offers cheaper games than in retail" discount?
Not in the US. Retail games are regularly cheaper, or the same price, but Steam is usually more expensive.

Steam works out a lot cheaper for most games here in Aus, I'll use Bioshock as an example Steam price USD49.95 converted to AUD61, retail price for Bioshock AUD90+
I've figured things are more expensive in other countries. Especially over in Australia and Europe, things available all over the world seem to cost twice as much.
Australia is rediculous for game prices, I don't live there but I see the cost sometimes and it looks to be a 25-50% premium frequently. Right now in Canada it is sort of so-so as some places haven't adjusted their costs for the CAD - USD relation as 5 years ago or so our dollar was 0.65 to the States but now it's around 0.95 so stuff is that much more expensive for no reason (especially books and such with printed prices. It says like $10USD and $17CAD when it should be more like... $11CAD or so.)
At least eBaying it pays off quite well as small stuff isn't taxed/dutied usually and even if it is, you still save quite a bit for the exact same product.
