Depends on what I'm getting. For new games I usually go to Wal Mart as my wife works there so we get a discount. If I just want a used one I go to GameStop, although I've been going less lately, and probably will keep that trend, now that I have GameFly again. I typically only buy the games I know I'll play over and over, and sadly that's not very many, usually only major RPGs and such.

EB/Stop is never getting my dollar. After what they've been trying to do to the game developers **** them. I buy from our local Game Exchange or Amazon.

Mind elaborating? I've never heard anything about difficulties with EB/GameStop and the developers/publishers of games.

GameStop, mainly because it's right next to my house.
But I'm not a fan of console games. I only bought some games for PC and tons of games for friends.

Well, I don't purchase anything at gamestop because every time I buy a new game from there it doesn't want to work. And there are scratches on them. Also on the previous page I mentioned when my friend bought a console there it was defective.

All major purchases go to Wal-mart & best buy. Used games that I want to test out though I will get at gamestop and if I dislike them I will return it and get my money back.

Wal-mart & gamestop are down the street from me. Best buy is a couple miles farther. So I just go to wal-mart the most. But if their are bundles then I'll go to best buy and buy the consoles/games there.

Gamestop, just because it's around the block. But I perfer going to Best Buy to get my games. I trust Bestbuy more than I trust Gamestop.

Usually I go to Wal-Mart for something new but if I want an old Xbox360 game then Gamestop. All I've seen at Target is old games and they don't have a huge selection.

So basically I guess Best Buy is good for getting consoles and laptops and accesories for your consoles, but for games Gamestop all the way. (atleast for me) I don't like going to Walmart, in fact I think that I was in a walmart only once.

It's so people don't try to steal or damage the games. That's a great reason to keep it behind the glass.

At some Best Buy stores they don't have there games behind glass and some people I know have actually stole some games from there.

List of where to go first:
Wal-Mart
Best Buy
Gamestop
Exactly in that order is where I would get my games from.

Heh. I understand that. I like looking at the back for the screen shots and info. But you can just go to gamestop and do that. Then buy the game used and test it.

Eh... demos are kind of short and don't include all the features that are in the full game.

So I'll just ride on over to gamestop test it out for about half an hour or so then go return it if I don't like it. but If I do like it I'll still return it and just go to wal-mart that's next door to gamestop.

That's just me though. I don't know anyone that does this. And gamestop isn't even that far away from me. About a five minute drive.
