   I stopped after the gamesellers (GameStop...etc) decided they weren't worth their while.

   Now that Best Buy's PC section is nearly obsolete, Steam. GameStop's customer service is just awful, so Steam for me.

   Well, I guess most of us will say Steam... Reliable, big discounts and excellent multiplayer platform... what else do you need?

   I buy 90% of my games from Steam, 5% from Impulse and 5% from Direct2Drive. Think it's been about 5 years since I bought a boxed game.

    I will still buy from the likes of Walmart, Best Buy, etc. if they have what I want. Amazon definitely and had a first good experience with Gogamer.com.

    There have even been really good deals on eBay.

    At the game vendors site if its new if not amazon or ebay. I also go to best buy every so often to buy a new game or to browse new\old games. I doubt I will ever buy a old game from best buy again.

    I mostly buy boxed games, at walmart or best buy. A few downloads from GOG.com, but I still prefer physical media. Just old-fashioned I guess!

    I use to always by my games retail as until recently the fastest internet in my area was 500kbs. I just got a "speedy" 1.5mbs internet connection so I have been considering using steam.

    Amazon (all platforms), Newegg (all platforms), Steam (PC lalala of course), GOG.com (oldies), and Gamestop

    Downloads are tuff (can take a while if you have a I want it now factor), and well although Steam has good sales when you catch them... all d/l for PC you don't see any savings from having no box until there is a sale...
