Where do you get your games?

[Gaia]

It really depends.

I go check out the game selection ever time I deposit a check and get some cash.
My usual "route" for buying games is...

1. Target
They've got great clearances, and chances are if there's a good game on clearance, it'll be a steal. There also may be other (new) games for cheap, but I generally don't buy new games that much anymore until they go down in cost so I don't buy from Target much anymore.

2. Gamestop
I only buy GBA, 360, PS2, and Gamecube games from gamestop anymore, and that's only when they're used and generally under $14.99 or so. Sometimes I'll buy a used game for a little more, but it really depends on the game.
I NEVER buy new games from Gamestop unless they're pre-ordered or come from behind the desk still shrink-wrapped, because all of the games on the shelves that are labeled have been taken out of the boxes and stuff.

3. Play-N-Trade (rarely)
Basically the same deal as gamestop, but PnT has games for everything back to atari, and generally better prices.
I don't pre-order or buy new from PnT.

4. Wal-Mart (rarely)
Wal-Mart usually has absolutely terrible prices on their games that take years to get to reasonable levels, but sometimes you can find a hidden gem here or there. Since all the wal-marts in my area are around 30 or more minutes away, I don't go to them often.

5. Internet
The best selection, the best prices (if you know where to look), and if you're in the right places, everything is really high-quality and is taken care of well.

Practically what this man said. With the exception of K-Mart and the occasional Best Buy (since Play and Trade doesn't exist where I live).
