    Steam, and occasionally other download services, but it's like 98% Steam.

    Hands down Steam. Although if I see something worth buying on the Target clearance shelf I may pull the trigger. I just cant be bothered with box's and cd's any longer with the sound integrity and ease of opperation of Steam.

    I buy them wherever the price is better usually , when retail has good sales I go for those, when Steam has those crazy sales I grab a few there. I can't usually afford to get games right when they come out anyways, especially at the new $60 price tag.

    STEAM! Never buy games anywhere else anymore...and why should I? The price is always good and if not...I'll just wait for a sale to come by and grab the game for practically nothing...
