Where do you buy your games?

[Slothy]

I don't really play many console games these days and I don't think most stores know what a PC game is. Definitely leaning more strongly to always buying online than ever before.

[Shauna]

Just depends. Sometimes in store there are some good deals that get me new games fairly cheap (for example, Disgaea D2 was down to £20 just days after release, which got me it cheaper than new online) but most of the time, I do shop online.

I always go to the locally owned video game shops first. If they don't have it I check out Gamestop. Sometimes I pre-order stuff, like FFs or new WoW expansions, and they come from Gamestop.

"Buy?"

It's been a mix of both lately, but I generally buy online. I have free two day shipping thanks to Amazon Prime, and I don't have to worry about sales tax on there for now. Thanks to that, it's generally cheaper to get it on there. I will buy from Gamestop during my work breaks if they have a sale that makes it a good deal. I'll buy stuff from Vintage Stock and other places that sell older games if it's a good enough deal. If I'm buying from a store, though, I generally have Amazon pulled up on my phone to compare prices.

A fair mix. Really depends on the game and prices.

This and also mostly online via amazon, steam, gog... etc. Sometimes Walmart or Gamestop.

Given that buying games in store usually costs me about $30 more than buying it online, I tend to purchase online except in times of excellent sales. But Steam is where my focus has been for a long while now, where I can get all my games for under $10 which is a lot cheaper than dropping a hundred every time I wanna play something new.

>>> If im really desperate for a game I buy online, is more expensive because I have to pay for the shipping.. If Im not that desperate I can wait a week or two and buy an used copy at some store..

[Vermachtnis]

I've been buying a lot online recently. It's just easier and convenient. Plus, I don't have to talk and interact with people.

[Ayen]

Don't you have an bank card or whatever that you can pay with in game stores?

Well yeah, that too. I mostly just meant I can't pay cash through my computer.

The stores I visit never have what I'm looking for, anyway.

[Rostum]

I buy from Ozgameshop. It takes a bit longer to ship to Australia, but it's free shipping and the games are usually half price compared to here (even new releases, surprisingly). Either that or Steam.

[escobert]

Steam.

[Aulayna]

Pretty much 100% online unless the game has a physical collector's edition that I feel is worth the money.

[Bolivar]

Amazon, since I get triple points with their rewards card and launch day delivery with Prime. Their digital PC storefront is also great and has some unbelievable bundles sometimes.

I have been buying less games since I got PlayStation Plus in November.

[Wolf Kanno]

An even mix. I'm a collector of classic games and I often enjoy trying to find the games in various pawn shops and used game stores since their prices tend to be outrageous online. I still prefer getting stuff from stores but I have no issues ordering stuff online as well.
