[cmarston1 5,958]

I used to go to GameStop, but now I just use Amazon.

Since i search for older games, i often buy them on either Ebay or Amazon. Specially since a few of them are quiet rare, so i rather search on the 2 biggest Media Sides i know and trust.

 

Sometimes i go to Game Stores, that also sell older used Games. Sadly two of them are already gone.

 

Sometimes i also go to...uh, not sure how you call these in english..markets? Outside markets? Where they are multiple stands from People that all sell their stuff.

I haven't really bought any games in a while, but I would go to Steam or Amazon because I don't trust stores and don't like giving money to those hounds anyways (Though I still have to get Steam Wallet money somehow!... Gaben plz no...)

[DixonTheAdversary 1,632]

I buy off Amazon, or got to Goodwill and other thrift stores. I also use Steam very often for buying games.

[Oleks 1,988]

Buying video games? "Yo-ho-ho!" is all I can say on this topic.

[TBD 17,252]

gamestop, or whichever stores has better sales. 

[CaptainDoubloon 856]

I buy most of my games from Gamestop and very rarely download them from the Playstation store. I prefer to have discs. If it's an older, classic game I buy them from Amazon. Forgot to mention Steam as well.

[Dynamo Pad 11,077]

I usually buy my video games from GameStop and Best Buy. 

[SONICchaos 824]

When I buy retro preowned consoles and cartriges I go to a privately owned Retro Game Shop i've been going to for 15 years.

 

 

I know the owner so well he'll let me run the shop when he's out and let me hang out in the back room.

[Flutter's lover <3 8,205]

Steam, unless Green Man Gaming, Bundlestars, Humble Bundle or GoG have better sales on a game, which usually do....

 

if I want older, I go to the local shop called Iceman Video Games...they deal with more retro stuff like Atari to Genesis, N64, PS2...

[WokeSmeed 124]

For console games, I use Amazon or a local video game store, which has lower prices, but they're used games and the selection is generally small. For PC, I just use Steam or whatever website the game's hosted on.

[zerox 1,085]

GOG.com

steam

ebay

that's that

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

I don't like CDs... nor do I like Game Stop... so I buy all mine digitally from the Microsoft Store... or whatever for PC.

"Eh...dont really care about that game"

"75% PERCENT OFF 20 DOLLARS!"

"...DAMNIT! I've already bought 4 games this summer!...And havent even started playing 1!" :diamondtiara:

I always download/buy them online, preferably steam.

[Vefka 1,499]

I exchange used PS4 disks with people in my city. For digital games I use steam (thanks to gaben that he acknowledges that Russia is not an Europe country and drastically lowers prices for us, unlike greedy Sony)

[ExplosionMare 18,058]

I usually get them at Target. More recently, I’ve enjoyed purchasing games digitally on the Switch and 3DS because I can have them on the system and not worry about a cartridge.

[Ittoni 538]

Game planet, second hand market, or digital store. I prefer physical copies because you actually own them and can later exchange them or resell to buy new ones.

[Early Sunsets 2,106]

Either Steam or Xbox Live. I used to get physical copies from Ebay, but I've started transitioning to digital copies in recent years.

Oh, and I also had to download the Epic Games Store for MechWarrior 5, but other than that I don't use that launcher.

[Jon the VGNerd 872]

Online and at stores, especially for retro gaming. Even if they're fairly pricey, it's worth every penny.

[Will Guide 21,357]

I used to go to GameStop for my physical gaming needs. But I kind of stopped going after the bad press Game Stop has been getting. the last time I physically got something from them was Nintendo Labo #1 Variety Kit back in April 2018. From then on whenever I had to get a game physically like the other two kits of Nintendo Labo or Ring Fit Adventure, I went to Best Buy.

Honestly I get most of my games digitally through the Nintendo eShop or Steam for PC gaming

[Here No Longer 5,276]

Pretty much just through Steam at this point. Most games I don't have through there I have on an emulator.

[Megas 27,508]

Only go Gamestop when I have no other choice(which is unfortunate for Niche games since I buy those a lot and they usually have those), otherwise, Best Buy and Amazon are usually my go to stores
