I always buy my games and sytems from the most convenient source at the time. For instance, the Wii was sold out everywhere I went last week, so i wound up buying one brand new from a family on Craig's List that simply had one and did not want it. I buy games from Gamestop primarily because they have a better selection (they stock games for a longer period, where as Best Buy and Wal-Mart rotate out for whatever is new and what ever is over stocked). I do try and support local game shops in my area though. I come from a small town (less than 80,000 people), so I have those kinds of values where I believe in mom and pop stores. Today I purchased Melty Blood Act Cadenza for my PC (it was $74 with shipping; the most expensive game I have personally purchased and the second most expensive game I have owned since X-Men vs. Street Fighter on the Sega Saturn) from Play-Asia because I could not find it on Amazon or any where else. I don't believe in sticking to one retailer. People should always seek out value.
