Poll: where do you buy your games?

[DTWolfwood]

shocking you dont at least have a "Digital Distributor" option if not straight up STEAM

cause i use Steam.

and Gamestop if i ever pick up a console game again. Which is becoming less and less likely. Nothing of interest is coming out on that platform

 

[Jark212]

Steam for computer games, and Gamestop for console games...

 

[VaudevillianVeteran]

The place were I work actually, always pretty cheap, Game On is good too, CeX or GAME. There's never one place that I stick to... Hell, I've even dabbled with eBay to get the really hard to find games.

 

[TheEvilCheese]

Amazon for pretty much everything, good prices and they have everything.

 

[Light 086]

From a store, duh.

OT: It depends on who has the better deals. Even for new releases, some stores come with certain pre-order specials that others don't. So I look around for one that I like most.

 

[mklnjbh]

Steam for the most part. I own a console, but that varies depending on what I want and cost- usually Walmart or Sam's club, though occasionally Gamestop.

 

[DuderSkanks]

Wherever I have a gift card to... usually meaning Best Buy.

 

[Ignatz_Zwakh]

Either from this local chain called Gamebuzz or, when I want the snazzy pre-order/in store bonuses, Gamestop (Or rather, EB games where I'm at). On the rare occasion when my dad shells out cash for my brother or I, he uses his credit at Futureshop. Those three places are pretty much it.

Steam

 

[liveslowdiefast]

steam, as it is awesome.

 

[BlueberryMUNCH]

Mostly Game.
'cos I'm all British and whatnot.

NOW WHERE'S MI TEA'AN CRUMPETS?!

 

[Ren3004]

I buy games it different stores. Usually at either an entertainment and electronics chain we have here, or at GAME. Although I've recently come to the conclusion that buying from Amazon ends up being quite cheaper, most of the time.

 

[liquidangry]

Steam, Best Buy, and GOG.com

Gamestop rarely, when there simply is no other option for a used title.

 

[CoL0sS]

Steam or shopto.net and game.co.uk . Decent prices (most of the time) and reasonable delivery time outweigh somewhat poor stock.
Save a LOT of money that way since games here cost more than $100.

 

[Veldel]

Physical copys I get from Amazon or Ebay

Digital Copys i get from Steam or GOG

 

[scorptatious]

Normally, I buy new games at GameStop. For some older games, I usually check out Dimple Records.

 

[loc978]

Usually Amazon for pre-orders. Sometimes Steam if they're having a sale on something I want. Sometimes a local shop.

 

[Hollock]

I go to target when I don't have to sell one game to afford another, otherwise gamestop.

 

[spiffleh]

I know gamestop (or eb games where I live) gets some hate, but I once worked there and it now has a soft spot in my heart. Not to mention I get to see my old coworkers if I buy games there.

Then again, I also buy from Steam.

Other:
GAME or other high-street retailers where possible, though the price difference over online goods is sometimes a factor.. which pushes me to use Impulse instead.

'Avoid Steam wherever possible, since Impulse got big enough to be able to have most everything Steam does and insist all their own products be DRM free, and everything else run without needing their client >.>

I wish I'd adopted that policy before buying Recettear, though. And I wish Impulse would hurry and implement their overlay in non-Impulse games, too - it has a couple of flaws, but it's really nice.
