Where do you guys purchase your games?

[Top Secret]

I purchase quite a few of my games through Steam. However, every once in awhile, the Steam price is too high, or it simply isn't available. I would rather die than go to EBGames/Gamestop, so where do my fellow Americans/Canadians shop online for PC and Video games?

So far all I've managed to find that looks decent is:

www.gogamer.com
www.amazon.com
www.buy.com

Any recommendations for online stores with good prices?

steam
amazon.co.uk
play.com
ebay.co.uk

very occasonally I might be in a game shop like gamestation but not very often

 

[Dekstar]

same as Lambda, minus ebay.

Should be a poll.

Steam
Amazon
GAME

 

[Lucid]

Amazon
Best Buy
Walmart
Gamestop
Steam

In that order, Amazon has nearly every game on it... so it's my primary online store.
Best Buy always gets the low prices first but when it comes to TV shows and movies it's always too damn expensive.
Walmart's cheaper with their TV shows and movies, but their games are always over priced.
Gamestop has an awesome mixed bag where nearly all of the games are $20 or less, but their PC game selection is dwindling.
Steam is my last resort, basically... I have too many issues with their system.(can't manually patch games, cant mod some, having to tweak a game like crazy to get it running, the pricing is iffy... the list goes on)

Mostly order em from here: http://www.gpstore.co.nz/

Unless EB is having a crazy sale or something

Also Steam, Xbox Live and very occasionally Wii Shop.

Pretty much just EB Games irl.

 

[Absinthe]

I can't remember the last time I bought a PC game on anything other than Steam.

But then, I haven't bought a whole lot of games in recent years.

What this good man has said.

Either EB, Steam or the interbutts.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Stores - Best Buy, Circuit City, EB, Gamestop
online - Steam

I recall getting Unreal 2 at Compusa once too, but they're not really an option anymore.

 

[Musk]

Steam, Ebgames, JB HI-FI

 

[CyberPitz]

Steam or Wal-mart if needed.

 

[Kyorisu]

playasia.com for the most part.

 

[Musk]

Steam or Wal-mart if needed.

Is there anything Wal-mart doesn't sell? =/

 

[Letters]

Steam, Direct2Drive, and Best Buy.

 

[Krynn72]

The last few places I have bought games from were through Steam, Best Buy, and Gamestop.

 

[Tagaziel]

Is there anything Wal-mart doesn't sell? =/

AO stuff.

 

[Gorgon]

steam
http://www.game.co.uk/

 

[TwwIX]

gogamer.com
newegg.com
gamestop.com when on sale
steam occasionally

 

[Paulaner]

Steam prices for a lot of good games are just too high for european users (Bioshock 55$ ??), and a lot of games aren't available in EU, so Steam is only for Valve games and for real bargains.
The rest of my games come from stores (real and online). No digital download for me apart from Steam.

 

[Polaris]

Steam
PSN PSP PC Store
Cheap games from Poland

 

[strafe/taco]

Steam and Best Buy

 

[Kadayi]

Steam and generally anywhere that I can find a decent price on a title. I find new releases are often quite competitive if sold at the supermarket quite a lot, and generally are cheaper than some game shops. I prefer Steam over retail simply for ease of use though.

 

[ShinRa]

Purchase?

Oh.

 

[MRG]

Yard Sales
Estate Sales - You just know them little old biddies love to get their game on!
BestBuy
CompUSA - Before they went under
Wal-Mart
Target
Gamestop in the Mall - Great bargain bin games.
Rarely will I buy a game online.
