As the title says,
Where do you buy your games? I will personally purchase them from a store that way I'm guaranteed that I'm going to receive the product that I've paid for. What about you guys though? Do you buy them online, at stores, from garage sales?

To be honest I have never bought a xbox game online and always purchase them from stores, such as Gamestop or where they are simply cheap. Sometimes I also find coupons for various stores, which I then. As I live in Germany, the games are expensive then in the USA sadly.

Depends really, I don't actually buy most of my games as I get other people to buy them for me at Birthdays and stuff haha but when I do buy games, it is always from Online mostly. The only time I'll buy a game in real life if is it is pre-owned or a VERY good price.

I did used to buy mine from a game store called Gamestation however they went into administration a few months ago and are no longer around anymore now. Since they went into administration I have moved over to using places like CEX, Game and also Blockbuster not only for renting but also purchasing games.

I've purchased games from Amazon and Ebay. But now I mostly do a Gamefly subscription. That's working for me now. On the occasion that I find a game I really like, I just go to the Walmart or order it online and have it shipped to the house.

If we're talking an actual shop then I go to EB Games as it's the only shop around here that sells games in any kind of quantity and although typically I'm not too happy about there prices when they do have sales it's pretty damn good.
Then of course we have online and I go for Oz Game Shop which is a online gaming shop for Australia which has great prices and a good amount of them have free shipping which is always a nice bonus.

I have bought most of mine online. I will do preorders if I really want a game. I have also bought a few off friends that I liked that they no longer play.

I buy most of my games from Amazon.com, I really can't remember the last time I bought my game from a store. Amazon is way cheaper.

I completely agree, the last time I bought a game from a store, it was because I couldn't be bothered waiting 2-3 days for Amazon to deliver it (As I get random game impulses from time to time) and I shelled out a wallet busting amount. It was cheaper on Amazon but I am very impatient but the majority of my games come from online retailers.

I usually go to a place like Gamespot, or buy them online if I can find a good deal. But there's a local Gamespot, so it doesn't take much effort. :p

Overall, they're a decent company. For me, Walmart makes returns easy. Though I haven't returned a game yet. Not had any other issues with other returned items in the past. They just put the money on a gift card and i can buy more things. I'm always shopping there anyway, so it works out. If i ever run across a defective game, i'll just return for a replacement or swap out for one that i really want more. _________________ChatLoungeBB

I get mine usually from EB Games. Similar to GameStop in a way. Or online since they're usually cheaper off Steam. But I'll search on places like eBay and Amazon too.
