When you buy games, how do you do it? There are a few ways to buy them; online and have them shipped, at a game store, and virtually. What do you most prefer?

I honestly don't know. -.- I like having it right away, but when you go to a game store they don't always have the game you are looking for. But, buying online takes too long, not to mention shipping and handling. -.-

I know I could mop the floor with you physically. Also, i see you take pride knowing you can beat people in games.

Phi thats why you buy them at the same time. I give people that buy Pokemon games dirty looks cause I know i could mop the floor with them competitively.
This is possible the saddest thing I have heard in a VERY long time...

Enough about all the BS about the "dangers" of buying online or at the store. You can come up with as many intensely stupid scenarios as you please, but the simplified bottom line about whether or not you would buy online is whether or not you trust some company to take your credit card information and spit out a game to your doorstep without fail. Some of you do, and thus you buy online. I personally don't, so I go to the store.

And just because I feel like I need to have a chemistry education moment...

Is carbon monoxide explosive?
Considering that it's a waste product of burning as it is, no, I'm going to say that it is not. XD

Since there's a very little choice of games in Lithuania I usually never find the game I'm looking for and if I do it costs twice as much as in Amazon so I always get my games online. I would really love it if we completely moved on to virtual copies.

Would rather go into stores, especially something like JB Hi-fi where I can get some DVDs with my games, or there's always the EB Games near my TAFE that sometimes have sales going on.

I remember Game always got the game out to you by one day before the release date, if you pre ordered.I usually prefer online because cheaper, and easier to compare stuff.

But driving to the store can be dangerous. You could drive off a cliff. Or get hijacked. Or get hit by a meteor. At least when you order online, only the game is in danger. If the post office burns down, then the game dies, not you. I'd know, the post office really did burn down once, and my poor BlazBlue sacrificed itself in that fire. *sniff* So brave...
    You never know, lightening can hit your house, your house can catch fire, carbon monoxide.... If you're off at the store getting a game when this happens, both you and the game are safe.

    But I do know what PiKaChU_bOii means by safer. If you order it online you could always get pirated/fake copies of games, like Castlewars and his fake LeafGreen.

OR you could be at the store when it gets hit by lightning and catches on fire. While it's filled with carbon monoxide. Then both you and the game would die. And the building may explode. Is carbon monoxide explosive?

But anyway, I always buy my games off of Amazon, not some random guy on Ebay, so I'm in no danger of getting bad copies. I find Amazon to be really good, prices are the same as local Gamestop and games come day of release when I preorder.

You forgot the 'crashing into a lamppost because the game looks too awesome' situation :')
