Which do you use to buy your games?
I personally use all 3 for different things

Chain stores such as Gamestation I use to get accessories mostly, but sometimes get preowned games
Independent stores i use most often because in my town we have no Game etc. We only have 2 independet games stores. I use these to get games as they're really cheap there
Internet i use to pre order games and get new games as their cheaper here than anywhere else.

i use a cool little store called GameTradersClub. The people are genuine and its good to support small town business.

I don't have any independent stores near me that Sell Games, I wish there was but there isn't :'(

So I normally just go to PC World as the games are always £40 on Release Date compared to Game and Gamestation that find it hard to decide the Price.

Although if I see a good offer Online, I'll get that or make use of that "Collect@Store" crap where you get like some special deal.

It all comes down to price for me. So Internet wins it as the cost is generally £5 cheaper than what I can get instore. I used to buy lots of import stuff from CA Games in Glasgow and I didnt mind paying extra as the service from the shop owner Charlie was always 1st class. He would even drop off games at my work if they came in early and I had pre-ordered. He closed that down as he couldnt compete with the internet.

Internet almost always. It's very rare that I buy a game from a high street store or independent store these days.

Since Game bought out Gamestation I've switched to my local Blockbusters as a matter of principle! :p

Seriously though they offer great trade in value and internet prices on most titles. I actually got Guitar Hero 2 for a fiver cheaper than it was going for on the internet come to think of it!
