I would say like 99% of my game purchases are done at Frys Electronics or through Amazon. The 1% is Gamestop when there is some sort of exclusive DLC code for pre-order blah blah blah, otherwise I would avoid the place like the plague.
Amazon yo. $4 1-day shipping, free release-date shipping and often receiving $10 or $20 credits on purchases of "high-profile" games is enough for me to stop going to Best Buy and GameStop entirely.
my local game store named Replay for all the retro goodness. hastings, meijers, or walmart. the best deals I find are on amazon. if the local store and xbla has the same price, xbla why leave home.
Amazon Prime is a glorious service. Free release date delivery, no tax, and there are $10-$20 credits for most popular games.
I had a free year of this when I was a student and it was great. Would you say it's worth the £100 a year it costs though? I've been thinking about re-investing in it since I buy so much of my stuff from them already.
Other than that I buy a lot of second-hand games at CEX or occasionally will go to Game or HMV, but very rarely as those places are normally at least £5 more expensive than online.
