i did buy all my games from various online stores, but ive started to notice that the shops in town are starting to match the prices of the online retailers, which is great because buying from a shop always feels more fun :)



i have realised something ironic, im thinking how cool it is that i can trade inmy older games and consoles as im about to get a psp go. Which is a console ill never be able to trade in games for.



If it's a game I have to have right away, I pre-order it at Gamestop.

If it's a game, I don't need right away, I buy it at Amazon to get their discounts and save the tax.

My consoles are either bought on Amazon, Walmart, or Best Buy usually.



PSN ID: Sorrow880

Gamertag: Sorrow80

Wii #: 8132 1076 3416 7450

Alright here's the list

I got my Wii at EBGames (Had to pre-order it)

I got my DS at EBGames (Again because I wanted it day one)

Got my PSP at EBGames

Got my 360 from FutureShop (At the time Elites were limited edition consoles and FutureShop was the only store in my city with any in stock)

Got my PS3 from FutureShop

Bought my mom a Wii from BestBuy

Bought WiiFit from WillowVideoGames

 

So there you have it, I shop at four stores. WillowVideoGames is the cheapest games are always about 10$ cheaper then anywhere else. Up untill BestBuy arrived in town FutureShop has the best hardware prices and software can usually sell for up to 10$ cheaper then EBGames. Then lastly I have EBGames, I hate shopping there they are always the most expensive but they are the only store that really pre-orders anything. Sure I could pre-order at FutureShop or BestBuy but only a few select games. At EB I can pre-order any game I want and know I'll get it within a day of release!

bestbuy, futureshop or ebgames...although lately a lot from from bestbuy and futureshop as they are going crazy in canada with sales on games...i got my 360 from futureshop and ps3 from ebgames. When the ps3 came out all stores in canada raised their prices by $50 eb games was the only store selling it at the given price



I live in France but I buy my games on the net, they're coming from England (shopto.net now they stopped giving my credit card number away, or the hut, or amazon.co.uk). I only bought the consoles in France (PS3 in Micromania, now a gamestop corp part).

When importing from the US, I use Alternate DVD store because they're shipping very fast to France (4 to 5 days from California).

Buying in France is not a good option since games cost 70 € here (105 $), while I can get them at 50 € chipping included from the UK.
