I buy all my used games on either Amazon or eBay. The only time I really go to a store to buy games is if they're fairly new.

yes, but not always, like 60% of the times.

Just once, I just did it because they had to import that game from the USA. Normally I like to buy them in "real" stores.

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.

I'm like half and half. Half the time I'll buy the game from an actual store, and the half I'll order off of Amazon. I don't really care for eBay..

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.

Amazon.
It is so much cheaper, and most stores normally don't have the game I want.
I also don't have to get off of my lazy donkey to go to the store.

I use Lukie Games for some stuff. But if it's a new release I just go to store and get it.

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.
