How do you purchase your games? New, Used. Shops or Online?

Just curious on how you people purchase your games? I myself Purchase mainly used games as i tend to wait several weeks untill the prices drop and theyre on sale on Ebay. I've just purchased No More Heroes for £22 insted of paying the full whack of £40 in the shops and £30 online.

How do you guys purchase games?

usually in shops, but ocasionally online.

almost always new

Ebay.

Always!

Usually great quality and dead cheap... and delivered straight to your door! I once bougth Cold Fear for £2.98 and it arrived less than 24 hrs after I ordered it (and a great fun game it was too!).

... also I'm usually able to trade in games at my local games store and get more back than what I'd paid for them. Sweeeet!

And then select games I buy new in my local Supermarket.

In shops most of the time. Future Shop get the big chunk (all). Zellers get an interesting chunk (consoles). EBgames get a few (PC mostly). Toy'R'us & other get attention, but rarely a sold.

I purchase 2 games online so far, and I am not looking forward to redo that ever again. I would pick Stardock over other options if I must. I think it was in 2002 and in 2005 or something like that.

Well you have to evaluate the inquiry. Buying them new allows you to indoubtfully obtain the game firsthand assuming you preorder it. It will be in perfect condition, but you don't get the fresh smell and it is fairly costly. Buying them used is generally moderately cheaper than buying them new or preordered, but the condition can be inadequate and you don't get the excitement you generally get playing it brand new. Based on these statistics, I would have to say buying them new gets you your bang for your buck. Ciao! :)

I make the majority of my purchases for PC @ Amazon. Probably 75% are made there. Used is only a last resort.

I enjoy making Best Buy runs to go "Shopping" for all the items they have. I like getting to look at the box and seeing stuff I might not have known I was interested in. For PS2 games I like to go through the used rack at GameStop and the bargain bins at department stores. For Wii, since the library is still relatively small I almost always know what I want before I buy but sometimes I'm surprised by a GameCube title that catches my eye.

new used shops and inline but lately ive been going to gamecrazy to bad u cant buy from them online

Console games I get used if I can since it's cheaper. If the game I want just came out and I can't wait(which is usually the case) I get it new lickety split.

With PC I prefer to get them new from the store. Used PC games usually blow up in my face with invalidated CD keys and such. Plus I like actually physically having the game which is why I prefer stores over online. I do purchase some games online though, under certain circumstances. (i.e download only games like audiosurf or older games that would be hard to find in stores.)

I usually get them new from BestBuyIn_Vino_Verita

Same here.

New in stores whenever possible, expect when there's a BIG price cut somewhere online.

Amazon is my Plan B.

I buy used at amazon uk and new in my local game shop but usually i wait for the lower price (platinum ps2 games).
