Game.co.uk
I live in the UK, they deliver within 2 working days for free and they're very reliable. They have almost every game I can think of and the others are usually old games that I can get off Play.com.

Gamefly: I always like to rent a title before buying and if it's any good, I keep it. The prices are way better than gamestop's used prices (which isn't really saying much), but I also get a 10% discount for being with them for a while (I think I got that after a year) and they give me $5 off coupon every few months.
If I'm buying used outside of GF, I usually go with amazon. They have the best prices.
It's amazing how many people shop at gamestop. I can't even stand walking into the one by me much less waiting on line and trying to buy something there.

I'm increasingly buying games from Amazon due to being able to avoid sales tax which saves a couple of bucks, even if it takes longer with free shipping.
I'd prefer to buy from Gamestop, but as time goes on I have the need to cut the corners so to speak.

Not everyone lives in the US
I go to CEX, lots of second hand games, and sometimes you come accross a gem. Ditto with charity shops.
Otherwise wherever a game is the cheapest.

Well, since I don't live in the US and don't have access to any of those stores, I just buy at the local import store. It's a small store that imports all console games, and the prices aren't THAT different from the US. So if a new PS3 game costs US$60, I'll pay US$70-75 for it.
Gamestop and Steam almost exclusively (except 1 or 2 things I could only find on GOG). I rarely buy used games and never pre-order.
For PC that's Steam, almost always. When it comes to consoles I go with various web stores, and I must admit that Game often ranks high on that list because they offer free shipping, fast shipping and they ship it so you'll receive it on release day. I always check around for the best price and Game doesn't always win.
I also buy some from retailers, but rarely from Gamestop. Ever since my friend got a copy of Resident Evil 5 (new with the resident evil 5 Xbox 360 bundle) and it didn't work and he never got it replaced I've avoided them. If they have a great preorder bonus I will use them though. I actuyally buy most of my games form a Norwegian electronic store because they got good prices.
