Gamestop for me, too. Considering it's right up the street. lol

I never tried Amazon before. I always figured you needed a credit/debit card for it, which I don't have at the moment.

Nope, you can use electronic check to have it debited from your account.

On topic, I pretty much use GameStop exclusively. I have used eBay and Amazon, Best Buy, FYE, etc. in the past but like other stated GS is just convenient. Plus I'm friends with the manager so the environment is nice in his store. I have been in some where the employees flat-out sucked and acted like you were intruding in their space.

I'm a cheap ass gamer for the most part, trying to find a lower price here or there. Last year I loaded up and games from Movie Gallery and Hollywood when the company liquidated.

If we're talking new and in print games, I go for Amazon, usually. I tend to load items in my cart and click "Save for later," so every time I log in and check my cart, it will tell me whether any of the items have gone up or down in price; so I've snagged a lot of games this way when Amazon drops the prices really low, way lower than GameStop and all the other online retailers.

I've started using Zavvi and I'm probably going to stick with them, VG+ is pretty good too, I've only used them once since a lot of orders have gotten stuck in customs lately.

Games in Sweden are way too expensive

Hell yeah the best kind of gamestores, a store here in Columbus,OH called "Play it Trade" and I am not talking about "Play n Trade" two completely different franchises, I actaully know the owner quite well, has given me some sweet deals over the years. It started as one store and now is trying to open up a sixth and its only been about 4 years.
P.S. Does anyone have a library that loans out games for free, bc a public library down in southeren Ohio does. And I am not talking about child Games. I.E. "Wolverine" 360 "Spider-man-Shattered Demension" 360 and more!
