PC, Steam if they have it. Origin if I absolutely have no other choice. Console, usually Gamestop because I like their stores.

Steam. If its not there I pirate it it. It's been a minute since I have pirated anything. DeathTrack ][ Resuraction might have been the last thing... Then it hit steam and I bough it. Once in a while if I see a stray retroware disk in the wild I will buy it. Not very often tho... Hmm... Also bought Bad Day In LA and Evil Dead Regeneration from Amazon...

I'm the cheapest kind of gamer. I almost only get games I want, if they are in a bundle (humble, and sometimes bundlestars) or really cheap on one of the main steam sales. Then I play those games for a bit and go back to playing Dota 2. If there is a game I really want, I will put it on a list on isthereanydeal.com and buy it, once it's at least 50% off.

PC games: Mostly Steam, but if IsThereAnyDeal shows a better price somewhere else than I'll buy it there.

Console games: My local Gamestop, unless the game's sold out in which case I buy it from said console's online store. This actually happened to me with Pikmin 3.

I get most of my console games from GAME and a local game seller at my market. They have pretty good deals, especially the "Two for three" deals. Actually the guy at the market has a lot of old PS2 and Xbox games for 3 for £5. I've gotten so many games through him. When it comes to digital games they come exclusively from Steam and GoG.

I buy most of mine from Steam. I didn't actually use Steam until I decided to buy Skyrim very shortly after it launched and none of the local game retailers had it. It's not so much that they were out of stock, it's that they had simply stopped carrying PC games. I spent two hours after a long day at work going around to different retailers and they were all like, "Sky-wha?" or "Nope, we didn't bring any in."

So I bought it off Steam and have been buying my games there ever since. (fwiw, I do have a number of Gamestop/EB Games locations nearby, but they're focused on console stuff to the extent that if you don't pre-order the PC game you want, you probably won't be able to get it.)

I don't find any benefit from having a box, disc(s) and manual. Manuals aren't what they used to be, especially given the dynamic nature of PC games. It's just more dead trees and dinosaurs to ship across the country. Physical media is a dying distribution method. It won't be long before buying a collectorr's edition gives you all the collector's goodies and a voucher to register your game and gain access to the download.
