Wondering where people buy their games. I buy them off craigslist as I like easy local buying, and they usually have $10 - $15 off store prices.

lol, Gamestop, Wal Mart, wherever I can get it.

I don't really have an assigned store for it.. I just find the nearest store that would have it and go pick it up on my way to do something else.

I get my games from Amazon almost all of the time. No tax, free fast shipping with prime and usually slightly cheaper than retail. It's also a pretty good place to get used games from too.

I live in a very urban area...the closest stores to me are gamestop, walmart and Target respectively. I always buy new games at walmart and used games at gamestop. I don't support Target.

Out of the back of some shady dude's van in a dark alley on the wrong side of the tracks. Seriously though, locally there's a dude who runs a game place that jumps street date without a second thought. Don't know how he hasn't been busted yet, he shows up @ midnight launch line-up's two weeks before another big game launches and upcharges 10/20 bucks for unreleased games- out of principle I won't buy from him but a few freinds of mine do. Kinda despicable, I'll usually go to a retail outlet of some sort- whoever is closest/cheapest/has the game if others don't.

Mostly Best Buy for walk-ins. But a majority of my preorders come from GameStop unless Best Buy is offering something good with a preorder.

I have normally purchased all my games from GameStop, but I have had a lot of bad luck with them so after I use the rest of my credit I have there, I'm going to look into using other means. I've been looking at BestBuy's used game estimator that they have on their site, and they are giving $10 - $20 more for trade-ins than GS does. I might be sold, if their program works.

Gawd... I remember when there was a pawn shop near me. It was back in the N64 days, and they would get all of the latest games in, didn't do any research on the subject as it wasn'tcovered in jewels or fired bullets, so they sold them off for $5-10. Got Ocarina of Time like 2 weeks after release for $10 that way.

Amazon is the absolute best. It's ridiculous how much money I have saved the past month or so ordering games from them. Great prices, great customer service, and great promotions add up to one awesome seller of games.

i picked up Oblivion GOTY ed for 13 bucks there while it was still being sold for 30 bucks else were

unfortunatly they dont have a great selection of PS3 titles but i might pick up Assassins Creed again just for the hell of it

or hopefully they got some new games in there

oh yeah and they also sell blurays there for 12.95 also

EB games if it's some sort of niche game that no one's heard about before. Future Shop for big-name titles. eBay and Craigslist for older games.

GameExpress.com 90% of the time. the other 10% I order from either Amazon.com or EBGames / Gamestop.com. I use Play-Asia.com exclusively for imports.

I get my games from independant stores. I'm friends with the owner of one of them and it's a lot more fun talking about the new games out and playing a couple of Street Fighter 4 matches instead of getting it from the overpriced Sony store. It's also better to support independant stores than a company that makes billions every year.

Usually whoever is running a deal that week I'll buy from. Toys r us has been having some deals lately and at Best Buy I'll use my rewards card. Other than that I'll go to gamestop for used games or trade some games in that I'm not playing anymore.
