    It's usually at Walmart or Gamestop for me. Sometimes Best Buy if you know what that is.

    I get all of my games from our version of Gamestop, though sometimes if I can't find them in there I'll use this other store that has a ton of retro games. When I got my Wii U I went all over the place finding games, so I didn't just stick to one.

    I'll normally just stick to Amazon, but if I want to get a game fast, I'll go to Walmart or Gamestop.

    Ebay is alright too.

    It depends, really. I don't do much gaming outside of computers, but if I do, I just go to the game store that is like a two minute walk away from my house.

    Game stop. I have huge plans to work there sooner or later, so I can get that discount that they give their members.
    Not that it's much, after all.

    Usually Walmart, since it's the closest place to buy games, and I have nothing against Wal-Mart as a company. I've stopped buying at GameStop a long time ago because of how greedy they've become. Like, really? You're gonna buy my game for $5, and turn around & sell it for $40? No one NEEDS that much profit from a single game. The only ones profiting from used games is GameStop themselves. On top of that, the employed get paid min. wage and are treated like utter crap.

    There are other local game stores like Game Star and Game Crazy I'll also buy games from, although most games sold from those stores are retro games, which is why I'm more or less forced to shop at Wal-Mart to buy new games.

    I usually get everything from EB Games (I think it's the equivalent of Gamestop?), including steam currency.

    I'm mostly an Amazon buyer nowadays but GameStop comes in as a close second for my game purchases. Overall I'm quite patient and can wait for shipping so I'll usually buy most things on Amazon despite having a GameStop ten minutes away walking, bahaha. Only exception is Pokémon in most cases - gotta have those right away!

    I'll usually get them from GameStop or Wal-Mart. Usually Wal-Mart for greater accessibility, and GameStop for used games, especially if I have a GameStop gift card.

    Mostly Gamestop if it's for newer games. For older ones, I prefer Amazon.

    I take both time and money into account when I make purchases. I will always prefer buying used to new, as it will cost me less, and it doesn't matter to me one way or the other, as I would just start a new save file (if necessary).

    With that said, I buy games exclusively from GameStop. It is not only the closest video-game-selling store to me, but I have been shopping there for a very long time (I have been a member there for at least 5 years, probably a lot longer than that, as I do not recall that far back). Seeing the employees come and go, and meeting new and old faces alike, is also an interesting experience, though I digress.

    If something isn't available at the GameStop near me, I'll just look for the closest one that does, or simply wait until it is in stock. I tend to steer clear of online shopping as I prefer to have something in-hand when I make a purchase, rather than have to wait for it. (Because, that way, I can see that what I am buying is the real deal. I will always bring my GBA, DS, or 3DS in with me to GameStop to check to see if the game will run, before I leave the store.)

    And if neither of those things happen, then neither of those things happen; so be it.

    I'll usually buy from gamestop if possible, but it really doesn't matter to me. If they have it, I'll buy it. Ideally, I use amazon since I have prime, and it works pretty well. Plus the deals.

    I usually buy at GameStop. I only ever went to BestBuy for MK8 because it was sold out everywhere else, lol.

    Well when I was younger i would always buy my games from Gamestation, which always had good games at good prices (It was also the only place that wasn't the internet that I could buy games for older consoles, but now I usually get my games from, well, Game (Which I suppose is the British version of Gamestop) Apart from there, I sometimes buy them from Argos (Which I suppose is the British version of......actually I don't think there is an American Argos).

    Gamestop for me! I've gone to Target for Smash, though. I think all other games have come either form Amazon or Gamestop.
