It has already been touched in the thread; but distribution, license and price are factors here in Others. I buy the games not from a game shop, toy shop, but from supermarkets mainly... yes. And there is no good online store here in Spain (Amazon has yet to arrive) so to buy online you have to use Amazon.de or Amazon.co.uk/play.com and even Amazon.com (shipping from the US is still cheaper sometimes...).
The luxury of buying games easily and cheaply is not common here. It's what happens when you have a scattered market rather than a unified big one.
