Voting is now open for Worst Brick & Mortar Retailer.
This award goes to the worst overall B&M (physical store) video game retailer in 2006.

Best Buy
Circuit City
GameStop / EB Games
Wal-Mart
Toys R Us

Gotta be EBGames for me. They still harrass you for preorders, they have more subscriptions and insurance than before (I think), and they still sell display copies as new games. There's a lot of other minor stuff as well, but they're just a shitty store overall.

EBgames

Wal Mart, you go the Video game deparment and it is 6 inches wide. Plus there selection ing sucks.

Yeah I gotta go with Walmart too. With the majority of their deals being YMMV it ends up being mostly a cock tease any time a deal is posted from them on here.

Gamestop for buying out Rhino, you heartless bastards.

GameStop

Wow, this thread makes me realize that most of them really suck.

Let's not forget Best Buy, with their "devil customer" policy and stopping you at the door to make sure you're not a thief.

Then again, GGC is a godsend.

Gamestop.

Just a question, are we gonna count EB and Gamestop as different entities?

Not that I shop there for games, but the thought of going to Wal-Mart always makes me cringe.

If I had to choose a game-only type retailer, I'd have to go with EB, but only because the local one sucks. I've been to plenty of good ones, but I never have a pleasant experience at this one.

gamestop

Wal-Mart. I shop there often for other things, but never purchase game stuff there. There's always better deals elsewhere and my local stores never have those great clearances I hear about.

Gamestop

Ugh, I'm disgusted with TRU.

Ugly staff, rude staff, horrid staff, no organization in the game section, mismarked games. Overall, ass.

GameStop/EBGames. End of thread.

TRU definately they have no good games and the staff seems like they are on crack.

Best Buy. Always, always Best Buy.

You can't fault TRU for having a bad staff.. that has nothing to do with the store itself, just the manager for hiring them. Same with the games.. you can't fault them if they're sold out.

I'm going with EBGames/Gamestop

Where's the love (hate?) for Circuit City? Worst game selection any day of the year.
