Where do you shop for games?

[con70solo]

Most of the time I go to a local game store that has anything from atari to the 360 mostly because he gives me more for my trade in, I know the owner and he will help you out any way he can, also gamestop has screwed me over too many times (only go there for special pre-orders), and I like to help out local businesses.

Amazon (UK) and Steam.

 

[Jezzascmezza]

At the toilet store.
(Cookie for anyone who gets the reference.)
But seriously, just at my local EB Games, or JB Hi-fi.

 

[OmegaXIII]

Play and Amazon mostly, usually the cheapest option. Occassionally i use GAME though

 

[Tenkage]

What is Steam, I keep hearing it but I don't really know what it is

If its a new game, then Walmart. My Walmart is almost 100% always guaranteed to have a copy of it. If its a old used game, I'll check out prices on eBay then go compare to my local EB Games. Depending on who is cheaper/has it, I'll buy from them. I don't like trading in my old games because I know as soon as I do, I'll wanna replay it, and won't be able to find it. And I use Steam for buying PC games, even if it does like to screw up my computer and cause harsh lag.

0.o hmmm perhaps I should get in on this....*writes some notes down*

 

[Ultress]

Mostly Game stop since all the Game Crazies closed down around my area, though I'll hit up Amazon if it's something harder to find.

 

[Girl With One Eye]

Play.com always has good deals, its where 90% of my games are from, I always compare it to Amazon though just to be sure.

 

[SyphonX]

Amazon, Steam and on rare occasions: EBay, Direct2Drive and Impulse, and random others.

In that order.

 

[ChicagoTed]

Grainger Games, Game and sometimes CEX.

 

[Continuity]

steam, or if not on steam then Amazon or in the rare case when I want something that neither has I try play or game.

[BRMXJzjsoawk321]

Steam and Fry's.

I hate Gamestop with a passion. Can't stand walking in there.

 

[Cinnamonfloss]

Game.
No really.

 

[Cowabungaa]

I usually look around for where a game I want is the cheapest, which is usually one of the webshops I have bookmarked.

That, and very occasionally Steam (for older games or indy titles) or the gameshop I recently discovered in a nearby town.

 

[Kagim]

I have four stores in my mall that sell video games.

EB Games.
HMV.
The Source.
The sony store.

When a new game comes out i make my rounds for the cheapest game, then compare the benefit of trade ins at EB.

Normally i get games 5-10 bucks cheaper as ONE of the stores is always having some sort of sale.

 

[AmayaOnnaOtaku]

Steam Gamestop and Bestbuy
