Where do you get your games?

So, in the era of the internets do you still visit brick & mortar stores? Or do you shop through amazon and newegg? Perhaps somewhere else? Also to all non-us residents how often do you import, or do you just wait for your local releases? I ask because I find that I don't buy games in stores unless they are at a discount and get everything through amazon now because of small discounts + free shipping?

i go through gamefly and walmart... i dont have a game store anywhere near me

I usually go to either EB games or a Best  buy or something, if I want an import game, or older game that's not on shleves I'll buy it of the internet.

I almost always go to GAME(much better prices than EBgames/GameStop), and if I want to import something I'll do it via Ebay. 

I work at Gamestop...so Gamestop.

I usually buy my games from either JB Hi-Fi for the cheapest prices on games on release. But if it isnt significantly dearer I will go to GAME so I can get my loyalty card thing swiped with my purchase. If I am looking for something old or obscure my first stop is at Gametraders and they are also pretty good for the pre-owned games. I never shop at EB unless is during one of their 2 for 50 sales and you can usually pick up at least a couple of bargains then. Anything other time of the year they are a complete rip off. When I was younger I used to shop at department stores so I could lay buy but I never bother with that these days as the only department stores worth wasting your time on is K-Mart or Big W in the clearance section sometimes you might find something but they just dont carry good selections anymore.

As for importing, yeh I will import sometimes if I am after a game that gets refused classification in Australia or its some weird title thats not going to get released here and in the few instances that I do, I have always used Amazon or Play-Asia. Though I usually attempt to avoid it because the priority international shipping they charge you is a fucking rort.

I get most games through GameFly but when I want to purchase a game I normally go to the GameStop close by.

Wherever is cheapest.

Gamefly and Target.

Walmart Internet

Gamestop or Steam, that is all.

Normally Best Buy and Walmart, but I will eventually migrate to the internet.

Other people's houses. Theres so much choice!

"Other people's houses. Theres so much choice!"

Usually Amazon since they often have the best deals. Sometimes Gamestop.

Play.com, Steam or Game.co.uk. I only buy games in stores on very rare occasions after work if I'm in no rush to go home.

Mainly Amazon. With their super-saver free shipping, and the fact that I live in Seattle, I normally get it within a couple days that I order it.

If I ever go to brick and mortar store... it'll probably be Best Buy to buy something new. Occasionally i'll go into GameStop for an old used game, but not often.

I only buy through virtual stores because I only import games. I'll buy them from Estarland, Play-Asia and E-bay mostly.

in the UK...

hmv.com 10% student discount. Lovely.

I mostly use Billybargain to find the cheapest online store that sells the game I'm looking for. If I'm importing, I'll usually stick with Play-Asia.

Gamestop or Amazon.

Gamestop... I trade in games pretty much the same day that I feel like I'm done playing them, so I almost always have some amount of store credit to blow there.

Games are way more expensive here in Singapore than they are in the states, so I get my games from play-asia.com. If I'm in the states, I'll just go to Wal-Mart.

Gamestop or Target. which ever seems more conveinet.

Usually Wal-Mart but I'll go to the EB Games a couple of hours away from me whenever I get the chance.

PC - Steam, if it ain't on steam I don't buy it.
360 - Gameaccess - Online rental service like Gamefly for Canadians. I don't buy 360 games anymore.

GameStop, and if the price is markedly better, Amazon or eBay.

GameRang.

GAME if i want a sealed new game, CEX if i want a scraped to shit old game, and the Interwebs if i want a decent old game.

$3-4 hey. Last time I got something it wouldnt allow me to choose anything other then priorty international shipping and it cost me almost as much as the product I was buying.

Primarily Best Buy, Amazon, and ebay. I'll stop at a Gamestop to check out the used PS2 games (just bought Red Faction, Shinobi, and a new copy of Persona 3 FES there today)

Sweet man thanks. Let me know. Because it was only the last time it done it to me so I thought it may have been some policy change in regards to international shipping or something. It has put me off keep going back to use the service lately.

Amazon and Best Buy, I gotz reward zone.

Best Buy, Gamestop, Circuit City (RIP), Target, Amazon.com, and Steam. I really don't know if there are any exceptions I have made to those. Maybe the sporadic trip to fye, but yikes, that place ain't good. Best Buy is my favorite of the group, and Steam is god.

Amazon Prime.

Amazon and Best Buy.

Steam, GOG, Amazon and Target are my shopping avenues; I usually try to avoid Gamestop as much as I can, there is something about the employees here that just rub me the wrong way...

in the past, it was stores, but recently it's been Ebay through a friend.

Amazon.com, ever since I subscribed for Amazon Prime by accident. Trying to get my moneys worth.

eBay unless it's cheaper or about the same to get used at gametop. Also if it's something I want to play but not worth buying I add it to my gamefly games.

Actually, I will do it here as I did a dummy run.

I chosae the cheapest (as I always do) - Economy Air Bubble @ 3.40 US.  A box is $4.40.

Anyway, it went straight through to the next stage without a hitch.  I know this has happened in the past, as the  $3.40 pice is on my invoice.  Plus, it arrives through Australia Post.  Are you stuck with the UPS, FedEx or Speedpost?  I wouldn't import at $15-20 US shipping either.

Try a dummy run yourself and try clicking on the Bubble icon and see what happens when you then move to the next page.

Just before I got to confirmation, the post cost was actually $3.

Almost always Best Buy.

The internet.

Interpret that however you like.

Does this include console games?"

I work at a Hastings, so I get most everything there. Occasionally Best Buy or Newegg.
