Priceline gives you an e-ticket confirmation, as well as Expedia.

If you are on an overbooked flight, it depends on when you arrived to check in at the gate, rather than who you bought your ticket from. It would be a discrimination suit just waiting to happen otherwise..

Priceline is great for hotels... I use them almost exclusively now.
The only concern, which I discovered, is that if the flight is cancelled, you are a second class citizen. (See my May Trip Report) I got stranded in Chicago because, of all things, winds kept me from arriving in time to catch my connection to San Diego (which was
NOT delayed). Suddenly you are as unwelcome as a three day old fish/houseguest..
