Where do you buy your games?

Mostly GAME or JB Hi Fi, but as soon as I get paypal im hitting up play asia.com, cheaper, region free, awesome!
play.com, GAME and sometimes WHSmith. I think thats it, unless there is a rare game I'm after, then I just eBay it. I found a brand new iQue for £25, including postage.
Ebay/amazon/play for second hand games, rarely buy second hand in stores cuz the prices are stupidly high, I got fallout 3 for 8 pounds when it was still going for 18 pounds second hand in store, absolutely ridiculous.
New games I'll buy from GAME, got a useless rewards card there.

Steam & G2Play.net (often for keys to activate on Steam).
In case you haven't noticed, I'm a bit of a Steam whore.
The only reason I don't buy all my games from Steam is because A) Some games are hosted by my freezone servers (my cap is 4 gigs, most games are around 8) or B) I have a voucher to certain game stores given to me by relatives.

Best Buy. i hate them (because i used to work for them) but they are really the only game in town now.
and i feel more than a little out of place going to toys r us to buy video games.

First resort: Amazon
Last Resort: Gamestop
There really aren't a whole lot of game and game merchandise retailers around here, so I usually check Amazon or go to Gamestop. As much as I dislike Gamestop's exchange process (So, you can sell me a broken used console, but when I try to sell you a beat up but still working console, you reject me? What ever happened to refurbishing?) and used game buying/selling, I sold a game there for about $4.50 once, and saw that same game a week or two later for $20, I know they're trying to run a business, but shouldn't I get at least half for a game that I sold them? I do like my local Gamestop's employees though, they're very nice people.

Best Buy (new games)
Amazon (old cheap games)
Newegg (cheap newer games)
