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. :|

Where you actually spend money to receive things, Pirate Bob.

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 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.

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. :P 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. :P

I've purchased the occasion digital-download license, but as people say that isn't really buying a game...

My favorite place is called Play and Trade, cause it has old games as well as new, but our's went out of business unfortunately. So I have to stick with Gamestop to get my games. Luckily it's only, like, five minutes away.

I'mma try to get a job there this summer.

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.

I buy actual game discs, but at an online store. I see no option for this in the poll.

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

Shame polls can't be edited. I just think of it as an "online purchase" >_>

Are you saying you were given the games or that you pillaged them?

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.

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) :)
