I personally buy all my games from amazon. I have had no trouble there and they always ship on time. Where do you buy games?

Off the list?
Amazon.
But I've been finding that gamefly is a good source too. It's the simplest thing if you're signed up with them. Plus, if you decide to keep a game that has one of those retarded online pass schemes or other pre-packaged dlc, they'll send you the codes with the case & manual.
I don't go near Gamestop (wouldn't shop there even with a stolen credit card) and Best Buy rarely has it's shit together.

I rarely buy anything for myself, including games; I prefer to get them as birthday/Christmas presents, since there are very few games that I NEED TO HAVE OMG NOW.
Most of my games come from my Steam wishlist. The ones that I do need OMG NOW and that include preorder bonuses or CE physical items, I preorder on Amazon with day 1 delivery.

I usually buy my games from futurshop or best buy , because they tend to be cheaper there, and the guys that work at that store near my house seem to be semi retarded. Which is bad , but they make a lot of mistakes that itake advantage of. Some guy accidently marked Alan wake for 9$, so i took the game to the cash and it came up as 39$ on the screen, but since it was marked at 9$ they were forced to give it to me at that price.
Also i went to buy alpha protocol , it was marked at 29$. I got to the cash, and it was marked as 19$ on the screen, by law due to this mistake, they had to give me the game for the 19$ MINUS 10$ because of their mistake, so i got the game for 9$.
Canada is awsome.

I usually buy from GameStop due to force of habit. I've been buying here since their first store opened in the area nearly a decade ago (there's four in the area now so I don't have much difficulty finding the game I need). I have a couple Best Buys to purchase from too but I don't really go there.
Buy games from wherever. Don't really care to be honest. Whether I buy a game from a "good" or "bad" retailer the quality of the game will be the same. Obviously if I could choose between the same game but one is cheaper, I'll have the slightly cheaper one
Recently Best Buy since they were running a pretty good deal pre order and buy 5 games off a list and geta a 100 dollar gift card I already planned on picking up 5 of those games so it was a no brainer, usually its either from Wal-Mart due to its convenient location or Amazon. I prefer Amazon the best with their games usually being a few dollars cheaper and 99 cent release day shipping beats driving but my school refunds only strech so far and are currently my only way to purchase online.
Its really a toss up between Best Buy and Wal-Mart for a few more months, Wal-Mart is closer by maybe 5 minuted but it is Wal-Mart so theres usually horrible service and they have an annoying tendency to be sold out of ne titles rather early in the day, Best Buy a little longer away but decent service and their always well stocked plus a friend works there so lately I've been going there.

I buy the majority of my games from Steam but for games that I need to pre-order, say for instance, the Collectors Edition of TES V: Skyrim, it'll be from my local EB Games. I'll also occasionally buy games new from overseas Ebay sellers.
Only on steam, and only when it's on a big sale. Here where i live at, the average income, at least compared to the rest of the EU, is very, very low. And yeah, everyone earns less money. So I've gotta squeeze every penny, so to speak. And i have gotten some pretty damn good deals from Steam, i have to admit.
