GameCrazy, usually.

Gamestop, EBGames, Target, Ebay.

Usually Gamestop, which I really dislike shopping at because they're only in it for the money. My problem though is its better to shop at shops that are strictly for video games.

But Gamestop totally fails with selling used games. They sell GBA Donkey Kong (NES) for $10.00. Why would I pay $10.00 when the far superior Wii port is only 500 Wii Points (equal to $5.00)?

Why would they sell the GameCube version of Ikaruga for $30 when it's on XBLA for 800 Microsoft Points (equal to ten dollars)? (Feel free to replace "GameCube" with "PS2" and "Ikaruga" with "Rez" or increase the prices and replace "GameCube" with "Xbox or PS2" and "Ikaruga" with "Marvel vs. Capcom 2" if your tastes dictate such.)

Despite what Sony thinks, a physical copy should, considering supply and demand, always cost more than a digital one.

So, do EB's profits go to humanitarian causes or something?

EB Games and GameStop are the same people, you twit.

I usually buy my games at the local Wal*Mart, where the greeters are like Walter from Jeff Dunham's comedy performances("Welcome to Wal*Mart, get your crap and get out."). However, if Wal*Mart fails, there's always a trip to the next town over to Best Buy or this small electronics store at the mall(they have Pocky! wheee!).

GameStop is the only game store around here, so that's where I go to get console games. I get PC games on Steam, and only when they are on sale. I am proud to say that not one of the 16 games I got on Steam was bought at full price.

Good plan. Why purchase games locally at reasonable prices when you can pay outrageous shipping fees to play the same titles in foreign languages?

WarpRattler · « **Reply #25 on:** October 27, 2009, 04:26:44 PM »

Because no amount of money will let you play a legitimate copy of Soma Bringer or Ketsui Death Label in English.

Weegee · « **Reply #26 on:** October 27, 2009, 04:44:25 PM »

Sure, but the same can't be said for the average Mario or Sonic title.

Mr. Wiggles · « **Reply #27 on:** October 27, 2009, 04:54:45 PM »

Yeah, but if he only buys from an import shop, it's safe to assume he has no interest in those kinds of titles that are easily available at any retailer.
