Where do you get your games?
And why

I used to get my games from EB Games till doom3 came out
Everyday for a week the game was sold out Crying or Very sad
They kept saying I should have pre-ordered Rolling Eyes

So I got mad and I went across the mall to Compucentre picked up a copy and walked by EB Games waving it in their face Smile

Now I get all my gamees from Future Shop because it's closer and somewhat reliable Very Happy The service ain't as bad as everyone says and it's located in the same mall with Silver City theatre Smile So when I got get meself a game I stop by and watch a movie if something decent is playing Smile

Sorry if I excluded outside N/A stores it's just cause I don't know any Sad that's why I put "others" Wink

"GAME" recently had a good offer - trade in 4 games and buy newest for 99p.
But only shop there for console & online games

GoGamer.com all the way.
They're ontop of their shit unlike EBGames.
They're usually ~$5 cheaper than EB (sometimes more), they get your order shipped SAME DAY as you place it (I placed an overnight one at 7pm central, it shipped an hour later. EB takes a minimum of one fucking business day).

Not to mention they carry IMPORT editions of titles which EB doesn't.

I got Battlefield Vietnam Import (no manual..big fuckin deal) for $20 bucks there a few months after the game retailed. They had it on their 24 Hour deal thingies.

No, I don't work for them, and I realize this sounds like a fanboy advertisement, but goddamn they are good.

Plus they send you extra shit with your order for free - stickynotes, pens, paperclips. They also give away free old games with you're order sometimes too (gotten Jeapordy and Need For Speed 2). Just gives me a warm fuzzy feeling when I buy from them Smile Every time I order there, its like fuckin Christmas....I never know what's gonna be inside the box hehe.

Yard sales and thrift stores.
I just got this new game called "Wing Commander" and it's the best thing I've ever played.
I've also played a game called "Under A Killing Moon" which is 4 CD's of greatness. Live actors, witty dialogue, catchy puzzles and pure entertainment.
Next I'm going to try something that looks kinda cool... "Castle Wolfenstein" or something.. looks kinda cool. Anyone else heard of it?

\\\to those who buy games; do you buy in bulk as in you go into the store and see some games you like and just buy them or you go to the store and buy one game each time you visit?

Whenever I go buy games I usually spend above 100$. I went to buy farcry and came out with xiii, max payne 2, and rainbow six 3 gold edition (raven shield / Athena sword) But no farcry it was sold out Sad I just couldn’t walk out of the store without buying anything.
