Where do you buy your games?

[icame]

Where do my fellow escapist's buy their games? Ebay? Amazon? Gamestop? Any of the other billion places now carrying game's?

Personally I generally buy from amazon, or a local shop that is completely and totally awesome.

 

[Rooster893]

I usually use either GameStop or eBay, and there's this cool store in Pittsburgh that sells everything from Magnavox Odyssey to Xbox 360 Kinect. Great store, I usually buy Nintendo 64 games there or playstation 1.

Gamestop, Amazon, Wal-Mart, or Steam.

 

[Andrew_Waltfeld]

Depends - Game stop, best buy, steam or amazon. Usually amazon or steam.

Gamestop, I'm too impatient to but things online, and too cheap for overnight shipping, plus the only other places to buy games are Walmart and the PX on post, and they never drive prices down no matter how old the games are.

 

[Jazoni89]

Game, Gamestation, Blockbuster, Cex, or my local Videogame store just down the road called Control Zone.

I Don't buy games online, and I have managed to find literally ever single game out there that I want, even some of the more obscure titles such as Valkyria chronicles.

Maybe im just lucky.

Wal-Mart and Gamestop if I'm up at the mall. Much to my surprise, the local Wal-Mart has been punctual with the latest games. Unlike when Prototype launched. Every store that sold X-Box 360 games didn't have it. No big companies, no iddy bitty ones. x_x

usually amazon if its free p&p

 

[AvsJoe]

Wal-Mart, Zellers, Blockbuster, Electronic Boutique, and Roger's Video. On that rare occasion I'll buy one from a pawn shop but that hasn't happened in a while.

 

[Tanis]

GameStop or a locally owned place.

 

[SimuLord]

Steam, Steam, and Steam. Best Buy for games not available on Steam (mostly stuff for my ever-expanding Sims 3 neighborhood.)

 

[DustyDrB]

Primarily eBay, but other than that...wherever is convenient. GameStop and Best Buy are two other big ones. I've bought like 4 games off of Steam (I have a Mac, not much choice. Not that I bought it for gaming anyway).

 

[IBlackKiteI]

EB Games (Gamestop)

I don't understand, why all the hate for that place?

 

[Tartarga]

I had been buying from Gamecrazy but after it got shut down I started using Gamestop. They employees their are quite nice and its actually closer to my house so its been pretty nice.

 

[AnthonTheSkabot]

I try to stick to my local game shop: Game Force but sometimes I go to Best Buy, also Steam.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Gamestop

Amazon

The 360 Marketplace/PSN Store/Steam

 

[GBlair88]

Steam, Amazon, GAME and Play. Whatever I feel is best at the time.

 

[Wapox]

Where it's cheapest... idc about store labels...

 

[CRAVE CASE 55]

Gamestop, steam, bestbuy, walmart

Mostly online these days, especially for the PC. (Amazon, Ebay, ShopTo, Steam, Gamersgate, Good Old Games, Indie devs themselves)

But I still occasionally go to places like CEX, or Game when its more convenient, (like I'm up town for the day), and try and pick up a bargain.

I think the main issue, is that Online is normally so much quicker, easier, and cheaper.

EDIT: ShopTo have been a very good online pre-orderer for me personally.
Every game I've pre-ordered from there has arrived a few days earlier.
Could be lucky I guess! XD
