Best Buy for new releases and GameStop or Amazon when I'm looking for older titles.

Gamestop or Best Buy for new releases or used ones on occasion, but I really like Amazon too sometimes.

depends

i useally like amazon as they offer $10 $20 for your next game and offer release date delivery. so by time im done with work on tuseday it sitting on my doorstep when i come on.

So whats not to like about that. amazon is pretty good retailer. great return policy game credits when you pre order games, release date delivery, no sales tax, no wasteing your gas or going out of your way to get it.

when i pick up new game in store. i tend to go where ever closer but not bestbuy. They more evil then gamestop in my opinion. but anyways if i dont buy new game on day one i'm mostly going buy it used.

used games. i get them from other people. gamestores jack up prices to much. but hey thats price for paying to have a middle man.

Amazon for a few simple reasons.

1) No sales tax (in the majority of states).

2) Lower prices than physical retailers (i.e. Walmart).

3) Free year of Amazon Prime if you're a college student (which means free 2 day shipping or release date shipping).

4) Free shipping even if you aren't a Prime member (have to spend over $25 but that's ok).

5)$0.99 release date delivery if you aren't a Prime member.

6)Great promotions (i.e. $20 credit with the purchase of Gears of War 3 or extra in-game content such as maps or weapons).

If for any reason Amazon's price for a new game is $59.99 with no promotional content or store credit, I will just get the game at a physical retailer because I can use a discount to avoid in-store tax.

I've used all that you listed. I prefer Amazon, especially when I can find newer titles @ $34.99. By the way, Deus Ex is currently $34.99 on Amazon....

Games; Amazon, BB, Target, Kmart Hardware; BB or Target (mainly Target). I never order hardware online. GS or Walmart would have to have a crazy deal (which they rarely have) to make me step foot in there and I don't touch used games or hardware with a 10 foot pole.

Amazon for the most part. They usually have good prices on games and the shipping isn't too costly either.

I got to Kmart mostly. They have been having a lot of good deals lately. $20 gaming credit with pretty much every game or sometimes they'll give you 1600 msp. Other times I'll go to Gamestop if they are doing a midnight release for a game I really want or if they are offering 50% extra credit for something I want to trade-in.

Depending on how I feel, I usually go with Best Buy but every once in awhile I'll buy off Amazon. I do not go to GameStop for new purchases, just older games.

eBay is by far the best spot to shop for games. They have the greatest deals.

I put other because I don't buy from the same place all the time. I go to Walmart for midnight releases because it's like 15 minutes away, the closest Gamestop is around 45 minutes (same with Best Buy, they're across the road from each other), Amazon I use frequently but never for games. So Walmart mainly, for games, but for accessories, etc. usually go Amazon.

Amazon because of the low prices, no tax, and free shipping with amazon prime.

Walmart, Gamestop/EB games, Bestbuy,Future Shop, Toys R US, Sears, any independant game shops, Flea markets, pawn shops craigslist, Kijjii, EB games, JJ games, A&Z videogames, Garage sales, Basically everywhere and anywhere OLD and NEW places to search and buy videogames. Anyplace thatn sells them. The Mega videogamer will hunt down games for the collection.

For me searching for Specific Xbox 360 games (or other systems) is a chore sometimes. But that is what I must do sometimes.

Gamestop, but been using Amazon as of late (out of pure laziness of not wanting to go to an actual store). The benefits you get from pre-ordering with Amazon I enjoy more than what I get at other places.

Gamestop(and proud!) . I like hanging out with other gamers and chatting with the clerks. Second to the comic book shop, it's my happy place.

Amazon, Game, Play.com, Gamestop, Hmv. I tend to shop around.

For pc games it is steam all the way with a bit of a browse on impulse.

Wherever it's cheapest unless I need it right away.

In person I like GameStop (the discount is nice), Preplayed, Best Buy, Pawn America, Video Game Xchange. Online I like Amazon and eBay
