QFT!!

Most definitely toysrus.com

At least with GameStop/EB you know what you're getting into (ie: used games may come without manual/case). TRU.com is always full of surprises - be it cancelling orders that were previously listed as 'Inventory found in warehouse', items not showing up on your invoice, or the major problems they have integrating with Google Checkout. Not to mention continuing to leave items for sale that they know are out of stock.

Also, if you try to cancel an order, you'll run into a few more problems. Firstly, you have to cancel by phone. This means navigating through an annoying menu system, and then waiting on hold for up to an hour. Once you actually speak to someone, rather than cancel the order on the spot, they have to 'submit a request to cancel' the order - 'usually cancelled within 24 hours of the request.' In the meantime, if your order ships, you'll have to ship it back to them to get a refund.

But I'm not bitter.

The Toys R Us site. In addition to what's discussed above, they also recently had the Dance Dance Mario fiasco.

Definately toysrus.com they suck.

Circuit City. Lack of any in-store pick-up or store availability on any games or movies (that I've ever seen) makes them worthless.

ebgames/gamestop.com

No longer of any value to a CAG and still have that selling used games as new problem.

ToysRUs.com

Saying "Out of Stock" on only the cheapest Wii game out of the three game deal?
YOU TOYSRUS

The BBB report on them ain't pretty, either.

ebgames.com... I can never find anything there and when something is linked outside of the site, it pulls you to their main page...???? wtf?

TRU.com for the useless site they have now.

CC.com isn't that far behind, and I ech o what neocisco said, no in-store inventory indication and no in-store pickup for games is what has less of my business going to them for online orders. If they did, I'd cut down half my online ordering with BB.com .

gamestop.com, for being generally the worst sitr for deals. My Wii games deal through toy's r us worked, if it took 2 months...

eb/gs for simply delivering the worst possible product when it pleases them.

EB/GS for never, ever having anything used in stock.

amazon for how they handle the $100 X360

GameStop for telling me that my Wii Nunchuck would "ship within 24 hours" when what they really meant was that it will ship in 4 weeks and arrive AFTER the New Year's party I specifically ordered it for. Bastards.

GameStop.

ToysRUs.com, bad inventory control, bad website design and too many order cancellations.

Amazon is a close 2nd though for the XBox 360 Core $100 fiasco
