Where do you get your games?

I normally get my games from

www.tradegamesnow.com
www.ebay.com
near by store

I got some awesome deals recently from TGN (tradegamesnow) so it had me thinking where everyone got their games from.

Ebay helps me out but only after no one else is looking for the game, lol

Near by stores I miss those mom and pop game stores major reason I hate gamestop.

Anyone else use trade sites for getting games. If so what site and user name maybe we have something the other one wants.

Tradegamesnow user name is Azrael

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
