I prefer the internet, I've experienced too many instances of not being able to find CD keys / CDs, but with programs like Steam, all I have to do is login and click download, no hunting around the house for long lost items.

I buy games in store so that the companies dont go out of business. You have to support the gmaes companies in some way.

Buying it from the store is porbably the safest option, because you have the warranty and everything.And in GAME (UK) you can refund the game withing 10 Days after using it and get a full refund!

If the game isn't that recent, then I'll try and download it. If it is recent and I really really want it, I'll either buy it or borrow it from a friend. I managed to get The Sims 2 Seasons for free because my school gives out vouchers for the games/music/dvds shop when we achieve things and I managed to save up enough vouchers to get Sims 2 Seasons completely free! ^-^

i normally just buy games instore because then your certainly getting the game u want and u can get it there and then instead of having to wait for it to be delivered also u just get a great feeling from being in a game store. i have occasionally borrowed games of friends just to see if i liked them or not and some games im glad i borrowed or else i'd have just gone out and bought it then never played the game again because it sucked

I usually borrow from friends or download game demos first to try out. I'll only buy it if I really really like it.

I always buy, for two reasons.One, I want to support the developer.Two, my internet is horrendously slow and would take several days to download any game.

Almost Game I have - I have to bought it in the shop. About 50% of totals discs i have never work properly.But I really like to go out and buy some Game because in my country(viet nam), you just need to pay abouy 1-2$ for dozens of discs ( And maybe that is why it can't work well =)) )When I have no money left,I suft the internet and try to download game but i 've never successful because i can't find any where to download game : for example : Final fantasy VII PC version - i 've been looking for it 1 year .....
