Okay everyone the title says it all. Do you buy games from online stores? For me I don't buy games from online but this time i may have to order 3 games from amazon.

Usually from Amazon. There's one import store left near me and I try to support it, so I take my business there sometimes. It's just so expensive though.
Yes, because they're consideribly cheaper. I usually buy from shopto but sometimes use amazon or zavvi, depending on the game and price. I buy games for my older systems from ebay.
Almost always these days, its just so much cheaper and convinent for me than retail. Why pay £40 for a new game in HMV or GAME when its £35 on Amazon, and then £30 a month later?
All the time. In fact I probably have bought most of my games from Amazon especially when they have a good deal on them which seems to be alot. Also I tend to by alot of my retro games like SNES or NES games from eBay. I actually find it easier to shop online than at a store with my schedule.

I usually prefer the brick & mortar experience, but I bought the King of Fighters XIII off of Gamestop's website, because none of our local areas had it.
Of course, I've also purchased download only games off the eShop & XBLA.

90% of my games come from Amazon. I live in a small town with only two options for buying games Walmart and Gamestop. I use Gamestop for buying PSN cards and the occasional pre-order. I normally only get a game at Walmart if something in the bargain bin catches my eye or if they have something on sale.

I try to buy them from proper shops as much as I can, especially when it's Wii / WiiU games - it gives a message to people I guess. For example, I went to the shop and asked for a copy of Wonderful 101 while all the kids were waiting in line to get their hands on GTA V - I think it's good for kids to see a 30 years old gamer buying a WiiU game.
When I was younger I really cared for older people's tastes in games because I automatically assumed they were more experienced than me (which was true by that time, usually). So I think, maybe some of these kids has seen me and thought "You know what, perhaps this WiiU is a console worth exploring".
Sometimes though, Amazon pulls off some offers you just can't say no to, so I buy from them...but usually I buy from proper shops.
