I buy my games at Future Shop as I'm an employee. I can't handle EB Games at all just because everyone I've encountered there are jerks, and a lot of their "new" games aren't sealed!

For my PC games I'm thinking of going the DD way off of Steam. Usually just where I work though.

EB Games, GAME and Gametraders. I sometimes go with Dick Smith and Big W if it's cheaper.

Play-asia for PC games and local mall for console games. I always check all the stores to find the place with the lowest price and that's rarely Gamestop. They sell Metroid Prime 3 for 70 euros ($110) and most other Wii games are between 60-70 euros too. Some PS3 games can go up to 75 euros there. Thankfully it's just Gamestop.

I use to buy my games at Gamestop but when I bought Bioshock for the 360, it wasn't sealed only a piece of a circular tape kept it closed. Also the cover art looked it had faded away. I was really dissapointed. So now I buy my games at any retail store, mostly Target and Best Buy.

I buy US and handheld titles online (Usually vgplus), some PAL titles in local shops. And that's it, as I don't rent any games at all.

For my straight up purchases I usually buy my games at Wal-mart and sometimes at Future Shop if it is cheaper, some kind of deal, or if Wal-mart doesn't have the game in stock.

When I trade in games towards another game purchase I'll go to Blockbuster or on the rare occassion EB/Gamestop.

Why does no one buy from gamefly?Or does no one do gamfly?Them and amazon have the best prices you can get games.Highest price you have to pay for a game is like $45 and that's if it is a game that just came out.Their store has some good prices but their keep it option makes it worthwhile.

Play-Asia (the best online store for asians like me)

Data Blitz (the only video game store in PHilippines that is 100% original in products. Too much piracy in Philippines)

Right now Blockbuster is awesome for buying games. They're hardley ever sold out and charge some of the cheapest prices around. It's kinda under teh radar for some people obviously because they always have Wii's or Elites in there.

If I'm pre ordering or ordering LE, I buy from Futureshop. Usually games get to my house the day before, or the day of release at EB.

Mainly I go to EB Games, but I sometimes go to Roger Video because they have games cheaper here and it's closer...They also usually have games that are hard to find. But If I'm looking for a specific game nobody has(usually an older one) I just order it off Amazon.

Mostly from GameStop, Best Buy, and Amazon.com. Lately I've started downloading from Steam every now and then, too.
