errr...no
Ive seen popular sell decent old school games, like Prince of Persia Trilogy, FarCry, OrangeBox, Stalker, FEAR, Sonic, CoH gold edition...etc
Their distributors are mainly ReplayGem and LoadUp, so whatever game they have, is what you get.No new games.

Yeah that's it, LoadUp and ReplayGem rclxms.gif
May I know which Popular is it? I know they are available at some Popular only

It depends on what games you're looking for. If the game is still new & has high demand, then yeah, then it might be a lil' pricey, such as StarCraft 2. whistling.gif

If you're looking for cheaper game, perhaps you can try digital distribution such as Steam or GamersGate? They always hold promotion where your favourite games may go up to 75% discount or sometimes free for a certain period of time. smile.gif

Just like what donchaka mentioned, the main idea about digital distribution is the fact that you don't get any physical box, CD / DVD or manual. The games are downloaded directly once you purchased them.

A normal scenario of purchasing retail game is you go to the store, take a look if your desired game is available & if yes, you have to decide if the price is reasonable. If it's unavailable, you might need to go from 1 shop to another to search for it or wait for the shop owner to get back to you if he's kind enough to source it for you. If you order it by mail, you'll still have to wait a few days for it to reach you (in 1 piece if you're lucky) & sometimes the game box was dented due to rough handling by the post personnel. What about the scenario of your CD / DVD getting lost or scratched? Heartache, no?

DD (digital distribution) is the total opposite of the above scenario. There are a few platforms (competitors) to choose from so that you can easily compare the games' price. Once decided, just create an account, buy the games you want with your credit card & you can start downloading the game right on the spot. Reformat your computer? Once done, just login again & redownload the game! Certain platforms like Steam has the function for you to backup your games so that you don't have to redownload them again if you need to reformat or change PC. smile.gif

someone should compile a list of the Popular branches selling the old PC games.

I always wanted to play Supreme Commander when it came out, but my pc not power enough that time( and no money also)

so when I saw the advert at PC Gamer, I somehow know the nearest Popular in my area (Amcorp Mall) don't have it. Can anyone tell which Popular branches they went that sell old games?

seriously for old games i prefer to buy them via digital distribution like steam, gamersgate, gog etc. The reason is because of the patch. Buy those retail copy then go back u have to think about patching.
