I chose Game crazy for buying things, its alot cheaper for the games that are being sold for 20.00 new,when they are 14.99 used there. Its better than the 17.99 they want you to pay at game stop, and you get more for older games on trade in i think.(all of the things that i commented on, are based on my experience at the gamestop in Ontario(the one in oregon))

I stick with EB games, they have a good selection, and eventhough they rip you off on trade-ins they have a knowledgable staff.

Gamestop... because it's closest.

No real depth to the decision beyond that, at least for me.

Haven't ever seen a Gamestop store, and I don't buy online. Never heard of Game crazy. EB's prices are to high (at least the one here is. Almost $90.00 can. for FFX-2!!). So I chose other.

I prefer to buy games at wal-mart. Almost the same selection as EB but prices are usually $5-10 less than EB.

Rhino's Video Games. They are only in the southeast, though, but the staff actually knows more about video games. Really nice and has stuff from NES to Sega Saturn to N64 to whatever. Really nice.

Prefer. Other. Best Buy. If you hit the right time you can get some wicked deals.

Wal-Mart sucks. They have a monopoly in my town.

I honestly don't have a preference. I really don't look out for used game deals, so I'll just shop at whichever store is selling a game I want at a good price.

Seconded. Though I can't complain about Best Buy neither, but it's not an option other than Other.

GameCrazy has always treated me really well, and they have very cheap games and such. They're the only place I know who still sells DreamCast games, which automatically makes them awesome... Plus I'm apparently a very valuable customer since I got an invite to GameCrazy Asylum the day it opened somehow.

I'd say the same if they even existed here. Must be locally owned or not near me.

To be honest I don't mind shopping at Canadian owned and operated venues, as well as "ma and pa" electronic stores. The extra 5 or 6 bucks doesn't break my wallet, and I don't have to deal with my conscience knowing that I'm buying from a distributor that breaks labour laws and attempts to by-pass international business treatises.

EB Games has always treated me profesionally, and the employees get to know me on a first name basis. As for GameStop... as frequent as I show up, I could be a new face every time to those peole.

I voted Gamestop because it's the only one here. Mom's been having trouble with her checks there, though... if she'd just carry cash...
