I buy mine at the store or online. Pc games that is. I download my ps2 games, but I bought some legally when my ps2 wasn't chipped yet. I only buy games when I can't get them illegal or if I buy them to play online.

i have to buy them legally because i don't know how to get a chip for my ps2
but for gba games i just get roms, i'm not really into games as much as i used to be so i don't really get them as much, i used to rob all my pc games from dunnes(grocery store) until someone gave me 20 euro to tell him how to, then he got caught and they changed the layout so i have to pay for them now :(

Now that is weird. A game store pretending to be a grocery store so that they can give games away for free? Or did you mean you bought them for a low price?

no, the grocery store was trying to make more money by selling games for the pc and me (being the master theif :P) found out a way to steal them, then some guy wanted to know what i did to steal them and i told him for 20 euro

I usually go to rom sites like g-masters for roms for DS and GBA, but for NGC, PS1, PS2, DC, Xbox, PC and PSP I go to torrent sites like isohunt, torrentreactor, torrentspy adn thepiratebay.

If I really want to buy the games, which I do if It's a really great game, I go to Zellers or EB.

I rent my games, then burn them. Those gayass iso sites always need a password or is always currputed.

that's actually a pretty good idea. But it's harder for me because I only have 1 dvd drive =(

Those 'gayass' isos that require passwords usually have the password with them. i've never had problems.

As for renting, the games tend to be scratched a ltitle, which can corrupt a rip and burn process.

I can't get mine pirated (I've got a gamecube) and I know there are modchips for gamecubes, but there is noway around where I live that do gamecube modchips, and I can't get one off the internet, coz I don't own a credit card, or paypal, so, I get most of my game second hand from my local gamestore.

why do you have to wait 3 months =/ I don't know what gamestop and circuit city is, we don't have that in The Netherlands. Do you buy them online or do you go to an actual shop?

I used to have to buy my games at Wal-Mart, but then they built a small EBGames across the parking lot. The first time I walked, I was stunned! Wall to wall games! I even drooled a little, and maybe cried...Ahem, anywho, I just got a big paycheck, so I went craZy, I got a PSone ($10) Legend of Dragoon ($10),
Grandia($10), a few accessories and a PSP. Happiest day of my life.
