Default Where to Buy?

Hi guys,

Where do you buy your software from? I've noticed some places have "rewards" type programs going now too.

Where do you like to shop for software and why?

I am in Australia and I know that doesn't really make a difference, but Aussies - any good Aussie places?

Cheers,
Grace

Whenever possible, I try to buy direct from the developer. I much prefer this as many of the software aggregators like Handango or Pocket Gear take a huge cut (up to 50%) off the retail price as their commission. If you want to support independent developers, always buy direct.

I do the same as Nurhisham Hussein. Everything is downloadable for the devices, so if the developer has a storefront, then it is best to buy direct. All of the gimmicks (e.g. rewards programs) will have to be paid for somewhere - - typically a hike in the product price.
