Parker Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 99% of the time I buy from my local GameStop. Amazon is a great place to buy games as well. Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowSigmaX Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Amazon. The Target, Gamestop and Walmart near me all sell the same 3-5 Vita games. So Amazon is my best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xZoneHunter Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Ebay & local gameshops most of the time. I tend not to shop at amazon purely because they don't accept paypal... Hoping that will change in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simply ahri Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Amazon can import Japanese games, but sometimes they are priced very high to cover shipping costs. Some good websites are: Nippon-Yasan AmiAmi PlayAsia AmiAmi usually has the best deals, which is why they are also almost always sold out. You have to be really on top of things to get your order in, especially on highly-anticipated pre-orders. PlayAsia is higher priced than most others, but at least they have a solid stock that is usually always available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSNP is crap i left Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I always buy my games at Gamestop (Even though i don't like Gamestop) because it's the only gaming store around my area. I used to buy at GAME but they shut down all the stores from my knowledge. For imports i've only used PlayAsia and they haven't given me any problems.

StrickenBiged Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Amazon UK, especially for pre-orders. They're usually always cheapest. And the pre-order price guarantee (that you will pay the lowest listed price between the date of your pre-order and the launch date) usually saves me £10-15 on day one releases. Digital games come from... well... PSN Store obviously. I pop into Game from time to time, but haven't bought anything from them in ages. They're usually madly overpriced compared to Amazon, even on sale. So I usually just browse for a bit then leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiptracing Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I usually go to a local gameshop but I do buy from Amazon occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltyie Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Amazon most of the time (Unless GAME have locked down a cool special edition and I have to pay their extortionate prices it get it > ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon-Archon Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I mostly buy at local gamestores and PSN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayResponsibly Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) So far, just Gamestop. I plan to buy some PSN games from the PSN Store on my system but I'll probably pick up the PSN cards from Gamestop as well. I like the idea that if I get a game that I dislike, at least it can be worth something trading it in when getting another game. I also prefer getting a physical copy if possible. I very much dislike how they slap those stickers all of the boxes haphazardly though. I have to figure out how to get those off. Follow-up question: Are games usually cheaper when buying online than in stores? Edited August 20, 2015 by PlayResponsibly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I get a majority of my retail games from Amazon nowadays. I used to go to the local equivalent to BestBuy a lot, but they seem to have gone completely bonkers with their prices for PS4 games so Amazon is the cheaper option every single time. A majority of the games i buy these days are digital anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueFireReaper Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 GameStop and Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucknerd Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) Amazon mostly but if I want to pick up a collector's edition oo something day of release I do it at Gamestop. The only exception is if there is something in good condition at a second hand store for a reasonable price.

Kubanga Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Gamestop. My parents buy all the Christmas\ B-day stuff from Best Buy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NullRay85 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) I mostly buy my games from PSN, saves me the trouble of having to go to my local gameshop . Maybe I should consider upgrading my PS4/Vita storage. Edited August 20, 2015 by NullRay85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PipeSwinger Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I used to get all my games from Game Stop just because I love going in their and talking to the employees about gaming. But with the new city/state I live in the taxes are insane. So Amazon is simply the better way to go. That or I buy off of the PSN Store is the price is right.

Mr_Freaker Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I used play.com for quite a while since all prices were cheapier, but nowadays it's more expensive. Most games come from the PSN Store, but the last game I bought came from the supermarket Colruyt (back in November). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Weight Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) EB Games, Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Independent Game stores etc. I usually buy from the psn store if the game is digital only or it's discounted a lot.

Zenpai Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Physical shops here in Portugal are way overpriced, so I usually just get them from Amazon UK. Even when taking shipping and how strong the British Pound is right now (or how weak the Euro is) into consideration, I still save between 30 to 50€. However, I recently found a great online store here in Portugal that not only can be a little bit cheaper than Amazon for new games, the shipping's also cheaper and faster (duh, it's closer ). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowReplicant Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Various local game shops, the local equivalent of GAME and ebay for some good deals and rare/older/hard to find games. For Japanese games I use http://www.nin-nin-game.com/en/ almost exclusively. They usually have great prices, frequently discount their items and offer shipping through Amazon.fr to Europe, which means I don't have to pay customs and tax. I've bought from them dozens of times, including big collectors editions and used/retro games and I was always happy with my purchase. The other obvious option is http://www.play-asia.com/ - great store but I always end up having to pay customs and tax which makes me buy from them less frequently than I'd like to.

Satoshi Ookami Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Apart from obvious answer in PS Store, my local store is one source for Vita games but I've been using eBay almost exclusively these past purchases... eBay is a good source of Japanese games as well.

Edunstar84 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 GameStop US and Norway. I used eBay once for Sorcery Saga, and mostly Amazon UK. I've used finn.no once as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
