EB games mostly, cause i can trade in my crap to get better crap i'll play. and i like the cheep shelf full of xbox originals that gave me classics like soulcalibur 2, halo and megaman anivercery collection cheep
Usually Gamestop, or Wal-Mart or somewhere else if I'm getting desperate. Like, when Animal Crossing: Wild World first came out, I searched everywhere and finally found it in Circuit City, a place I normally would never go to.
EB Games is probably my most frequent shop. Even though I constantly spout out how much they suck, their still a little better than Wal-Mart. Theres a Rogers Video close my school/job thats 20 minutes away, though they have weak selections. I only go there if I'm lazy. Best Buy has the best console games IMO. Their often cheapest and they get everything. .
There's no nearby game stores, so I generally get my games at Superstore (which is still a 30 minute drive away :roll: ). I used to get them at Wal-Mart where they were cheaper, but they recently closed it, and opened up a Wal-mart Supercenter on the outskirts of the city, where it's not nearly as accessable by walking from the bus-stop.
Zellers always has games on the first day of release, I remember one time, i went to buy Brawl on the first day out, and EB games had a line up of about 20 people. I was like, damn. So i went to Zellers, and it was empty, nobody in the store, and the had a stack of Brawls behind the glass. Good day
gamestop, but walmart is closer walmart is my second choice in buying a game. when i wanted to buy skate they were all out so i tried walmart they had it, that same thing happened to assassins creed.

Big retailers generally have more copies, and are cheaper. However, game stores generally have games at release, a larger library, second-hand games, and more obscure games.
I like Target, because on those really big launches like Super Smash Bros. Brawl or Halo 3, everybody lines up at the GameStop across the street at like midnight and waits in line for like an hour to get their copy of the game. Then, the next day, at like 8 a.m., I can walk into Target and there'll be 12 copies of the game, I'll pick one up no hassle, and laugh at those guys.
Fry's Electronics is also pretty good, since they have a wide selection of PC Games, and they also tend to have the less mainstream console/PC games (like, they were the only store within 50 miles of where I live that had No More Heroes in stock).
Wherever is cheapest. Before getting a game I always check CAG and slickdeals for sales and coupons. By doing that, you can usually always say %10 on any game you buy at gamestop. By the way for anyone looking to buy a xbox 360 game any time soon, look for the $10 off 360 software coupon for Target.
Depends...I never buy the day of release from gamestop (I always go to best buy or walmart) because gamestop almost always says " Well, You had to RESERVE a copy to get one today"...something which I always found ironic considering the Best Buy within walking distance will sell me that exact game without having to reserve it.
