I rarely shop at GS anymore, it's usually Amazon or Ebay for me. Where do you get your games from?

Almost 90% of the time from EBgames, their prices now match amazon.ca and even cheaper for example Mw2 will retail for $54 while amazon.ca $59.. and 10% from wallmart

I buy used PS2 games there if they come in the original case and are at a decent price. I try not to buy brand new games there, but I have before for exclusive pre-order bonuses if I want them bad enough. Otherwise, I order from Amazon 90% of the time.

I use to shop at gamestop but it got to well annoying if you buy certain games with there smart@** remarks, they can be a fanboy like every one else... Now I go to amazon.. saves gas, less hassle and no wait times..

After searching every store in town for a copy of Borderlands I finally decided that I had to check Gamestop.

Luckily since the game is new they had sealed copies of it behind the desk.

But this was the first time in a long time.

If you preorder MW2 from amazon, you will get $20 credit for a video game purchase for a limited time. I woud know, I preordered mine a couple hours ago 8).

I prefer to buy my games at Wal Mart because it's the only close store with games to where I live, but more often than not they don't have the games I want so I have to go out of my way to a GameStop or buy online.

Nope, I stopped buying at stores in general this gen. In the rare case Im low on cash on my debit then Ill buy at the store, but other than that, online. GameStop will have shovelware like Wii BaBieZ in stock, but not Rune Factory Frontier..... rediculous.

Amazon is nice, if you look through the sellers you can get a good deal, I got a volume of a anime for $0.1 there before.

I usually go to EB Games if there's a pre-order bonus or CE exclusive. Otherwise I just go to Best Buy and Futureshop.

I just traded in Resistance 2, LBP and CoD4 for $40 each to Gamestop. That's really not a rip-off.

I go to EB Games as well, have two, one near my house and one near my work. Also HMV started selling games so I can buy music, movies and games all at once :) I never buy games online. I've only done it once, it was for Quake 1 and that was when Mplayer was still around and not Gamespy. I Also have a Wal-Mart near my house but haven't bought a game there since GCN.

I still go there, the guys at my location are pretty cool. The only thing I hate is how they are always bugging you to preorder crap. You can't barely mention a game without them going crazy about pre-ordering it

Steam all the way. Unless it's a Wii game, in which case it's usually Wal-Mart.

Unless I need the game quickly and can't find any deals on it I'll buy from Amazon. Occasionally I'll buy some used games from Amazon when they run their promotions, but that's about it. I'd rather buy from Amazon or Walmart/BestBuy if talking about an actual store.

I reserve and buy all my games at Gamestop unless they don't have a copy at the time. Which in that case I usually end up going to Target.

I do for most console stuff but for PC games I usually just do steam or order online. Mostly preorder stuff there that I want the first day and because there are so many gamestops where I live it makes it convenient.

I always go to gamestop. They dont have very good deals on trade ins but atleast they'll take them. I haven't paid for a game out of new money in a long time. I always have trade in credit at gamestop. Ill just sell games I dont play to buy new ones. eventually ill run out of money and only have a couple of games left and then ill switch to gamefly.

Most of my games come from Gamestop especially the hard to find one, where the other retail stores do not seem to carry those game. I usually preorder some of the games that carry some type of promotion or bonus item while shopping there, but only if it is something that catches my attention. As for brand new game I tend to go to Walmart for it.

I dont. I got pissed when they passed of a used game as new to me. Normally I catch it, but I missed thatone. I think that's fraudulent.
