    Default Where does everyone buy their games?

    As title says where does everyone buy their games? And also best place to sell old ones?

    I usually get mine at superstore cause I find they've got the best prices. Not the greatest selection but the big ones anyway.

    but I preffer going to FS/BB whenever they have deal/sales.

    best place to sell would be beyond or online.
    EB is worthless imo

    Future Shop or EB Games... However I bought Battlefield 2142 online directly from EA this time via their direct purchase and download program.. (EA Games, not EB Games)

    If you are like me, and spend most of your work week (ok all) DT, go to HMV. They will PM too as long as its not below their cost.

    They should have an EB games DT, but its great to finally see at least one store selling games.

    you must live near me, I can't understand how they can have both a BB AND a FS at northland, but there's this big friggin' hole over here.

    I get mine at a bunch of different stores, sometimes Superstore, sometimes FS or BB, but lately it has been blockbuster using credit from trading in old games.

    How much do they usually give you? Better than EB?

    I've been doing that too, I bought Splinter Cell: Double Agent when it first came out for the 360 and played it for 2 weeks straight. When I tried to sell it on here I was getting offers of $30-35. When I went to Blockbuster they gave me $42 or $43 for trade-in and I ended up just paying another $25 or so for Rainbow Six: Las Vegas

    I have never tried EB because I knew that they would give me very little. It is usually pretty decent though. I just traded in about 9 games, all xbox games well over a year old and got $75. One good example was LA Rush they gave me $15.

    That's pretty good. EB usually tries to gip you and give you like 40% of the original price. I'll probably start going to Blockbuster now.

    This site is the best place to buy/sell/trade games. Seriously.

    If I had to pick a store: Blockbuster Video gives great trade value for games. I trade there unless EB has a special. EB has the more obscure games like Trauma Centre.
