Pretty much through Amazon for console games and Steam for PC games. I don't drive due to my low vision, and I live in a tiny rural area without any game shops, so Amazon is pretty much it for me.
" Steam for PC and GAME for my 360 games. Although if I can find the game I want cheaper on Amazon or play.com I'll get it from there instead. "
Pretty much exactly this. I live in Scotland to and GAME is by far the closest to my house, and is beside where i do my food shopping so I make a fair amount of impulse buys there.
I occasionally drop into Best Buy if I want something right away, but I get most of my discs with Amazon. That, and I download from XBLM, PSN, Steam, and the iTunes store. Retro stuff usually comes from Ebay. Internet shopping is awesome.
I believe I'm in concordance with many of my counterparts above: Steam is my source of PC games (being a superior means in many ways), and EB Games (the local subsidiary of Gamestop) for my console games.
I only go Amazon. I can't be free 2 day shipping with Amazon Prime straight to my door PLUS release date delivery. The only time I'll stray away is if there is a particular preorder bonus that is exclusive to a different retailer.
On consoles it's a mixture of Amazon and Gamestop. For new releases, I'll check to see what Amazon's pre-order deal is, and if there's a launch day delivery option. If what's on tap doesn't tickle my fancy, I just Gamestop it.
I just recently put together my first real gaming rig (my last one was when FFXI launched, and it was far from impressive), but I find myself loving Steam. Picked up some cheap oldies, and tomorrow will be basking in my 1st Steam preordered game, Mafia 2.
steam... and was gettin a lot from gamefly (brand new games a day or so after release for 44 bucks..giggity) when i had it for console. but consoles have been shit for releases since like ...when did red dead come out?
