Where do you buy games from?

[SHRED]

I am looking to buy HL2 soon.

1. Usually EBGames

It's closest to me.

2. Either EBGames or at a small one-man shop

The one-man-shop is a lot cheaper, but at the other end of town; EBgames is just round the corner. Well, I'll pick up my HL Limited Edition on Monday, in said small shop.

3. GameStop or my local nerd store.

GameStop IMO has far better prices than EB, especially on used games.

Once in a while my local nerd store will have something nice ubercheap and I will pick it up.

4. eBay or online locals

i don't like software etc./gamestop. worked for that company and i hate it. won't buy anything from them and their subsidiaries if i can avoid it. in the past 4 years since i left their employ i think i've spent a total of ... maybe $15 there, and that was on like 3-4 used games at good prices.

eb is ok... but i really don't get all loyal about it. they are just another big retailer killing off local vg retailers to me. i try to support the locals because sometimes they make major coups and get some great imports and take care of their customers real well.

since i do (now did, outta $$$) a lot of import purchases and collection scrounging i find that eb and gamestop places really don't help me. try online purchasing, i really recommend it.
