Where do you buy your games?
I've got quite a shopping list at the moment, and was just wondering where people bought their games from?
I see Sainsburys seem to be selling popular 360 games (Fallout 3, Gears of War 2) for £29 instead of the £39 that Play and Amazon want, and even beats the points saving from Game. Only catch is the stores in my area never seem to have any stock.
Where have you found to get your games from?
Other question is, where's the best place to get xbox live gold membership from?

I get mine from the usual places, like you mentioned as well, ie Amazon, Game, Play, also worth checking Zavvi - But our "local" games shop often prices matches too.
Don't know about xbox membership though - don't have one of those 
Cheers,
Sean

Its worth getting the game reward card and going all through game.
They always deliver on time and I've not seen the prices beat yet

I buy from game and steam, but game has that reward card which is very useful.

I like shopto.net as they have quick delivery but I generally look around for the best price from the main online retailers such as play, game, gamestation etc.

Last place I used was 'gameplay.co.uk'. I only came across them from quidco mind - they give a nice 9% cashback - the same as GAME though, where you can also use your reward card. But if the price is lower at gameplay, then it might make more sense to buy from them. I have no loyalty as such, but I do try to use GAME because I've got a reward card too. :-)

PS. Got Fallout 3 for the xbox360 on the weekend. It's going to suck all my spare time up and more, I think.

God damnit. Now I look and realise that GAME and Gameplay are the same company! D'oh!
GAME still own Gamestation it seems too. I guess only Computer Exchange are the only other chain that's not merged in with someone else?
Now if Gamestation could use GAME's reward cards, then it would be no problem. I want my cake *and* I want to eat it too. :P

GAME own gameplay? :O Since when?
They bought gamestation a year or two ago and I'm surprised that they haven't done any consolodating really - we now have three GAME owned stores in Lincoln between about 120,000 people in a rather small area. Wouldn't have thought it was worth keeping all three (two GAME, one Gamestation)
BTW, am I the only one that prefered it when they were Electronics Boutique?

Why? What was so much better about it? I'm not trolling - just never really had any experience with EB.

Nothing different appart from the name. I just think it was a better name than "GAME", which is a bit bland.
