Where do you shop for PC games?

[jdavisomaha]

Best Buy? Amazon? Somewhere else online?

Frys' cause they always have new ones on sale and in stock and there's usually something else there worth picking up at the same time. Occasionally Target because we're there so much due to the two young kids but their selection is like half a row and its usually older titles I was interested in but never bothered picking up.

EBgames is usually the place when you want all the bonus goodies that often come with preorders or EB promo stuff that only the online stores get.

Other than that, I've also used the FSFT forum and Ebay for obscure titles.

gogamer.com is where I've bought 90% of my games. I purchased BF2 from BB only because they had it on sale $10 cheaper than anywhere else and .99 shipping.

EBgames or gamestop isn't bad. Gamestop bought EBgames now. I usually prefer gogamer.com though, they have some good prices and they have 48 hour madness sales where you can get good prices on games.

I know a manager at a Gamestop.

Fry's. Like HeroOfPellinor stated, they usually have something good on sale. The local GameStop and EB won't price-match Fry's, so I stopped shopping there.

 

[stnicralisk]

FS/FT

 

[jack1201]

The game on SALE!!! That's I am looking for.

For launch day titles I just look at Fry's because they have the best price on launch day and I've never seen anyone else have a lower launch day price. I paid $38 for BF2 on launch day. If it's an older title, I'll shop around.

ebgames and gogamer. Gogamer always has some awesome deals on games you normally can't find anymore.

Having been around since before we had video games makes it relatively easy for me to bide my time and wait 2 or 3 months until some good discounts show up for the good stuff (or used!). I almost NEVER buy at release, but I'm grateful to all of those that can't wait that drive the market.

A local pawn shop has good titles for cheap now and then. EB sometimes has okay sales. Target has a true clearance price on good titles once in a blue moon. Between our FS/FT forum here and my network of friends I tend to play everything I want sooner or later

Fry's if I need it now. I get most of my games from Gogamer though. Gotta love those sales they have.

I usually shop online for games unless Im desparately wanting a game.

Could have got Winter Assault for £18 delivered online but would have taken up to a week to arrive. I paid £20 in a store on release day and I was happy....

but most stores were charging £25 though

Fry's for new games.

 

[flashbacck]

gogamer is awesome, but you have to be aware that some of their games will be imports. Which means they might have different patch downloads or tech support.

 

[Todd33]

Fry's. They have all the new games on sale, normally for $34.99 or $39.99.

I like really big selections.

I've always shopped more on retail than online for somereason. My local Bestbuy has just recently downsized their PC games section, which sucks. But that and Gamestop at the mall is where I usually go. Sometimes to Target, but only in desperate scenarios.

Costco > B.B.

I don't really 'shop around' for games. I order games from Newegg.
