    The PC (Personal Computer) is a highly configurable and upgradable gaming platform that, among home systems, sports the widest variety of control methods, largest library of games, and cutting edge graphics and sound capabilities.

    Does anyone here still buy retail copies of PC games?

    I only buy retail if I can find a cheaper alternative on sites like GoGamer. (Holy shit I forgot about GoGamer! I didn't copy my bookmarks and just remembered it.... and it's down... apparently) (fuck) 
     
    I got Dead Space 2 that way like 2 weeks after for ~ $20 off.

    Sometimes I want the box. Or the added goodies. Or just an in-store impulse buy.

    Does Amazon count as retail?  I just built my bro a PC and although I am a diehard Steam buyer, amazon actually offers cheaper prices and he prefers having a boxed product.

    Due to lack of credit card its much easier for me to just buy games retail... but I sure hate myself when I do. Its cheaper to pay for american prices off steam than the bumped up Canadian counterparts with fairly high Quebec tax thrown on top in a store (Black Ops ended up being around 75$ from EB).

    If your credit is that bad why not just use a debit/check card from your bank?
