I rarely find myself shopping at GameStop and its ilk for games anymore. Most of the time I buy them (which I do all too frequently) either online or at second-hand game stores. About 80% of my game purchases in the last year have been downloads.
How do you buy games?
Large stores like Best Buy, Target, and Costco?
Chain game stores like GameStop?
Second-hand game shops?
Steam?
XBLM?
PSN?
Who buys games? Bittorrent baby!
Let us know. We like you.

Mixed. For game that I'm well aware that I got to have it, no matter what (like Bioshock series) that I go straight to retail store. For most indie game, I find demo to try first, then buy from developers or portals. (all digitally)
Other AAA titles -> torrent first, if I really want it I buy when it's on sale.
