Do you buy your games online or in stores? Why?

To avoid human contact? To get a chance to browse other games? Just to go out? Better prices?

Its just faster. If I'm hyped enough to want to play a game at release, I'd rather just download it rather than wait in some gay lineup at midnight or whatever. Plus I don't trade in or sell games anyways so I don't give a fuck about a hard copy

This happened at least three times until I signed up for Prime monthly, which I am cancelling after Prime Day.

Literally never gotten a bad package. Your local mailman must be a fucking piece of shit. Amazon's part in it is flawless.

>>344482091
I get gift cards to a local chain store often so for me it's a mix of buying in person, piracy, and Steam/GOG for multiplayer games or anything else I couldn't find.

I don't use Amazon to buy but I've sold a handful of games there.

That's what I figured out. I had it delivered directly to my house and I never had problems again.

Different person here. I ordered OoT 3D for downgrading purposes and ended up having fun playing it,the game came in a weird folded cardboard envelope thing. It's the first and only time I've seen anything similar. The game was intact but I found it weird that they used such a simplistic wrapping method.

Back on topic, I honestly get it from wherever it's cheaper, usually digital. I don't really buy games on release day though.

Fuck you

Online

>Why

Because I get them dirt cheap. The newest game I've played is the occasional early access shit. I don't care for most new releases and my backlog is fucking huge. Save for Yooka Laylee which I have "pre ordered"

>>344482091
I buy online cuz I don't have a car and online buying ships it right to my house
>>
>tfw straya
Online because of better price. Fuck JB and EBgames.
>>
>>344482091
I walk or bus to places, so unless it's groceries it's usually bought online.

Online is usually cheaper anyway even when you factor in shipping cost, if it even comes with one, and stores often don't have specifically what I'm looking for.
Mind you I'm not talking about video games but things in general, though it's definitely true with games too.

It's the wrapping method they use for books. It is very strange that they used it for a 3DS game. I think it happened to me once, ever. Those brown wrapped things are for books though they are actually very secure.
>>
>>344491050
I've worked in a warehouse for 3 years now, we always use those cardboard envelopes for small shit. Small packages like that are so densely packed that they can't move enough to cause shock damage to whatever is in them.
>>
I don't play localized games, so all my physical purchases are online by necessity.

How about AC Collection including AC6. One can dream.
