I always get mine at Wal-mart if I want to but new ones. But if I want older games like for a PS2 or just used games to test them out I'll go buy them at gamestop. Sometimes though I'll go to best buy to see their deals on games and bundles. But overall I'll just shop for games at Wal-mart.

I've never went to Target for games. I also don't purchase anything online.

eb games

That's what gamestop use to be called over here. They changed it from that to gamestop about 4 years ago. I don't entirely understand why.

gamestop i have a 10% off card

My Aunt gives me a $25 dollar gift card every month for Wal-mart.

Thats nothing! I own Gamestop and get all my games for free!

Mostly I buy from Gamestop and other stores around my area.

Gamestop is good to test games though if you want to see if you like it or not. All you do is buy it used and then if you don't like it you can just return it and get your money back. But if you do like it all I do is return it get my money back and go to Wal-mart and buy it new.

Gamestop. I love it. They have a whole bunch of pre-order deals, and they have gameinformer! Let's not forget that they own Kongregate. (Am I a traitor to Armor Games for liking kongregate?)

Not to me your not. Kongregate does have some good things. For example the badges and games. But for the forums I will remain here. I like it better here.

I don't know why. But I don't think I'll ever purchase new games/consoles from Gamestop. I just don't feel comfortable doing that. Since my friend that did buy a console from them once it was messed up as soon as you took it out of the box. Of course he returned it and got all of his money back. But they tried to scam him.

only if you think their forums are great and ours suck

i go there for the multiplayer games and the new games (they get before us) and for some old games i like


but other than that the chat is usually filled with immature spammers only a few times we get a real conversation (only when more of my friends are on than spammers)




where was i? oh yeah

either gamestop, or bestbuy (for some good wii games)

Yeah, I have bought just about all of my consoles from Best Buy.

all of my consoles from Best Buy.

I like best buy. You can get bundles. That's what's good about best buy. Also they give you extra things when you buy something expensive.

The only things I think that I've bought from best buy are:
laptop
PSP
PS2
memory card for PSP
games for PSP & PS2

It's a great store.

When I got my laptop they gave me a $100 antivirus for free. They also gave me this geeksquad card in-case there's something wrong with my laptop.

I had to call them a couple days ago when I caught spyware on my computer and they walked me through the steps on how to delete it.

All new games sold at almost all retail stores cost the same. If you're talking about used games then of course eb games will be cheaper.

I buy most of my PC games from Steam (am I alone on that?), but for consoles, I either buy the games from Gamestop or Wal-Mart.
