Buying games online
 

If you were to buy a game online, would you go with amazon? ebgames? other stores or you would prefer to drive / walk / crawl to the nearest retail store?

Amazon is usually $15-20 higher in price than if I were to go to the local EB or Futureshop for some reason. I don't think i've ever bought a game off the net, although i buy a lot of music and dvd's and such from amazon/ebay.

For games i'd probably just go to the store.

I often get my games/dvds from play.com. any other time i just go to the local shop

id most likely buy them from ebgames

but since I dont have a credit card, I just go there.

I usually just go buy at a store.

Usually buy in store, but when I needed to buy online, i used EBGames.

Usually buy them online from "game".

I'd only buy a game from the internet if they'd have a good deal on the game I was looking for, and if I was willing to wait or not. If I'd buy from anywhere on the internet, it would likely be Amazon.ca

If I were to buy from a store I'd just go down to futureshop.

Local retail for me..frys electronics has games mostly the first day or two they`ve been released for like 36.88 instead of 49.99 rock:

I buy almost all my games in store at Game.

stores usually are cheaper plus have sales alot. i use amazon.com to buy cds cause what i look for isnt anywhere except there

& Amazon.co.uk

I thought about buying a game like Half Life 2 online, but then i figured its a lot safer just going to the store paying cash instead.

Plus, then you have to pay shipping/handling sometimes and then wait a couple days for the game to get to you.

Youre scottish, why dont you buy stuff at game? Cheapest games I know off, tbh...

EBgames is good for all the extras, like when you preorder and stuff, but Amazon is much quicker and the prices are the same.

newegg.com buy retail games for less, i bought HL2 for $49.99 and it cost $54.99 in stores near my house.

i get my games at gamestop

EBgames.com

With EBAY you have big chance of the cd key already in use and the guy selling it has a backup or already installed in cpu.

I buy from Amazon, usually from Amazon auctions. Have had only good luck, except for one time when I bought a dvd, but I got a refund.

I usually get games in store from Frys and Bestbuy cause they are always on sale when they come out. I will get them online anywhere if they got a good deal like free shipping and OST. I'll go to EB or GS to check out deals on older games, but they have some good preorder deals sometimes.

What's GS? GameStop?

I prefer going to the store, but if it was online id choose ebgames, cuz i get 10% off due to my gamespot complete.

yeah
