1) mostly buy, and via ...

a) local retail stores
b) online, new
c) online, used

2) mostly rent, and via

a) local rental stores
b) online

Me? I am 100% buy, and about 95% of those are online, used (scour amazon and similar sites daily for used discs).

I buy a lot from amazon, but I also use Target.com print outs at circuit city for Price Match as Target.com has the same prices as amazon, works great because circuit city will also take 10% of the difference off.

I've bought some on-line stuff...but my main source is B&M stores.

Don't like to rent...so impersonal.

Besides, I get to rent them out to friends later on.

Gamma_Winstead · 09-03-2007, 07:23 PM

best buy and CC. Price check every time. i do order from amazon also just not as often

Caladriusse · 09-03-2007, 07:23 PM

HMV, Gamestation and Borders - all stores. I look at Amazon to know whats out, but don't really use it to buy!

Uxi · 09-03-2007, 07:32 PM

Usually retail. Target or Frys since they tend to have the best pricing. I've gotten a couple on Amazon but I like instant gratification. I've also got some from Best Buy but only when I have them price match something from Frys or Target.
