Forums - Sales - Where do you buy your games?

Up until this Gen I had bought everything from either Zellers (canadian target), and Toys R US

However recently I have been using EB games, I just love the $3 warranty you get at EB where you can do whatever you want to the game no if ands or buts and they will replace it. Plus a whole store just for gaming is just really cool.

I usually look for the best deals either on or offline. Mostly play.com or amazon.co.uk or game.co.uk. A new website for uk users i have looked at is shopto.com-very cheap.



Mostly I buy my games at GameStop or in auctions...



Most of the time, I use pricerunner to find the cheapest deals. Even though I'm from Portugal and live in Sweden, I buy most of my games from UK shops, since they're usually where the best deals are at. Even with postage fees, I usually end up paying 50-80% of the price I would have paid at a game shop here.

 



My Mario Kart Wii friend code: 2707-1866-0957

Nowadays i buy them from wherever i can find the best deal or if i'm at the mall and some random game catches my eye i might pick it up. Usually online though.

I buy my personal games and systems from Best Buy, Wal-Mart or Game Crazy.


I avoid Gamestop/EB Games/Software ETC. like the plague....


ON the other side, when the Wii was profitable to sell on Ebay, I didn't discriminate any stores. I called monday through friday asking if they were in stock lol. But seriously **** Gamestop.

I import most of my games. It is either playasia.com (Hong Kong) or dvdboxoffice.com (Canada). Being in a PAL region, the prices for games are ridiculous. The DS and PSP aren't a problem, but I run a Freeloader for the Wii.

 

I plan to import games soon too, when I could, one of the first games I plan to import is Oendan and JUS



I buy all my games online.
