Where do you buy your games from.
I prefer to buy from a specialist store.. but, the only ones I know of aren't doing too well.  The world could always use more heroes! |

I usually either go to a place called The Video Game X-change, or Gamestop. |

Bol.com.
Also, I prefer actually buying a game, not just a right to play it through some big company-controlled DRM system, so fuck Steam. ____________________ I don't give a flying feather |

I usually buy them online through Amazon, or in Japan I purchase them just about anywhere. Very rarely will I get a game from Gamestop... Some of their stores have this policy to where they open up all the games and keep the discs in a pile in a drawer behind the counter. The problem I have with this is the fact that they're charging people for these games as if they are new. Fact: If I'm not the one ripping off the plastic and the first one to touch the disc, the game is NOT NEW. A worker there seemed offended when I explained this and told them I was not purchasing the game I came for.
PS: I don't sell any of my games. Never have, never will. ____________________ Sonnanja, ore no inochi wa toreneena! FFXIV: Jinpu Ishikawa RO2: Kougeki Miwashi Emikoku Steam: Ryudof |

♥444 ✿5074 ★68 I used to pretty much use GameStop exclusively when I was in high school, since it was very easy to get to from my house.  Nowadays I'm more likely to use Amazon, or various importers (since Amazon doesn't really cover FDS games), though lately I just haven't bought any games at all.
I've purchased the occasion digital-download license, but as people say that isn't really buying a game... |

~< Outta here. |
As of late, I managed to get two 3DS games for 75% normal price (before 20% off for a $100+ electronics purchase) by shopping Fred Meyer.
Other than that, I don't shop special for games. |

The only boxed games I bought in years was for my 3DS, otherwise it's all been digital purchases! The only time in the last... four years that I bought a boxed PC game was with Deus Ex: Human Revolution for the preorder bonuses. In retroaspect thought, I should just had gone with digital. ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org, YouTube

I buy actual game discs, but at an online store. I see no option for this in the poll. ____________________ I don't give a flying feather |

Should probably split those two poll options up anyway, even if I admit that I order online if I can't get it digitally. :p ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org, YouTube

I haven't bought games since the N64 era. Most of those I have today, I got from friends. |

Considering the recent fuck ups at the Gamestop I usually shop at and what I found out about them from one of my coworkers that used to be their assistant manager... I think my PSP may be the last thing that changes hands between me and that franchise. I'm going exclusive to the Game X-change, since they treat me well and always help me out. |

I'm another Gamestop shopper, I mostly buy their games used there. They pretty much took out all the Mom & Pop businesses here in my town. I usually go to Gamestop when they have their buy 2 used games & get the third one free. ____________________ Beacons.AI My Discord Server |

Around here, we have a few nice, locally-owned video game stores (one even sells used DVDs and CDs as well as games) so I rarely, if ever, go near GameStop, FYE, Best Buy, etc. (usually the only time I go to one of those is if they're running some kind of big sale, special, or are discontinuing a system)  "Miracles happen, when you believe..."
