How do you buy your games?

[Quintillus]

As the question asks.

 

[Bigfoot3814]

I do all three of those things.

 

[EweezE]

I used to steal them from a store, but I've got money now. So, in a store still. I like to have the manual and box so I'd never download a game, except for maybe an expansion pack.

 

[Harbringer]

Brick and Mortar stores have always been my thing, I prefer it for the physical copy aspect.

 

[GenMarshall]

Mostly buying them from a store. Though recently bought Garry's Mod via Steam. Though I still would not wanna use my Debit Card to purchase things online.

 

[Maniacal]

Usually in a store, although I have bought a few games off of Steam. I have boguht a couple of games on amazon before too.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

I generally use currency.

 

[Thrawn]

I buy my games with dollars.

 

[Knight-Dragon]

In a store, using cash, or ATM card, or credit card...

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

Mostly purchasing from a store, but some of my games (most of the recent Paradox and Steam games) have been bought digitally.

 

[ComradeDavo]

Mostly purchasing from a store, but some of my games (most of the recent Paradox and Steam games) have been bought digitally.

Ditto about Pradox games.

When I can't get it in a store I will order it online.

 

[Hitti-Litti]

Usually via Internet, you can get them cheaper from Internet than from stores(I don't mean downloading, I mean buying).

 

[GoodEnoughForMe]

Usually via the internet, ocassionally in a store like Gamestop. I'm looking for the cheapest prices, and that usually means that internet.

 

[Darth_Pugwash]

Usually from a store.

 

[Izipo]

In a store if it's a 'big' game, because I ike to have a box, a dvd, and goodies.
Download if it's a cheap independent game (Defcon, Now boarding, Crimsonland...)
In a second hand store or the internet for the cheap/older games.

 

[GoodGame]

Usually wherever they are cheapest, which is usually the digital download, but not always if you watch for sales. I'm leaning away from digital downloads, since as someone who upgrades their computer regularly in bits and pieces, DRM makes re-registering games all the time annoying. I think with SPORE, I'll go for the physical copy or at least ordering direct from the EA site.

 

[LordKestrel]

I get it on Steam if I can, otherwise I buy a physical copy.

 

[Civfan333]

A mix, but usually a regular store.

 

[MajorGeneral2]

I don't buy my games, usually. It's cheaper to just borrow them from friends and never return them. Of course, I have a fairly high turnover rate for friends, but I have a lot of good games.

As for games that I do actually buy, most come from stores, generally a privately-owned local shop.

Ebay .
