Where do you buy your games?

I tend to buy a lot on Steam or GOG, otherwise I usually lose the DVD or the DVD key, at least with Steam and GOG that's not a problem.

Mostly from amazon, apart from when I want to exchange some games, when I will go into town and use either CEX or Grainger games.

If i am not exchanging any old games I look on the net wherever is cheapest, which for the last few games just happens to have been amazon.

Hi have PS3 and can not recommend paying £40 a year to be a playstation plus member, there has been some great games for free during this last year (uncharted 3, hitman res and many more), great for the trophy hunter too!!!

But if I do buy, asda or eBay are where I've got most of my bargains.

Amazon for new games
Game or CEX for second hand
And of course steam for pc games especially during sales

Always Amazon for new and then GAME and CEX for used

When I had my PS3 I used to wait until the big budget releases had reached around £9.99 then pick them up for that price. I usually complete the game and then sell it on second hand on Amazon for the same ammount or even a slight profit. Madness really!

It's different with the 3DS and Wii U now though. Quality 3DS titles seem to stay around the £30 mark and the same for first party Wii U games. So I'm scouring HUKD for anything...Just picked up the Windwaker for £25 from Grainger games though! YAY!

I tend to buy games used and after they have been out a while, so CEX, Game or the local Cash Convertors/Cash Generator type shops depending who's cheapest / any deals on offer ie 3 for 2. I've often bought two copies of a game in Game on a deal then gone to CEX and trade two of the games I just got in for the same money I apid hence I end up with a game free. Occasionally Amazon or Ebay but often postage means it's cheaper to buy in town.

New games are usually a present so whoevers got the best offer. Latest Layton came from Gameseek, but Shopto and the supermarkets usually, very rarely a "real" game store like Game for anything new as they keep games at RRP or sell things as a "package" and bump up costs with the tut you just don't want.

Must use up my CEX credit too while I remember as often with games you get the "no cash in the till" comments.

i normally buy from Tesco as it's not much different in price than other stores, then i sell them either on eBay or on CEX
