I had a few issues with some orders I made with them. I've never had to call their CS before, and I had to around three times over one order.

Fry's, had a bad experience with them ordering online and I won't be doing it again.

Honorable mention to Amazon for really not marking anything down, just price matching other stores for most of the year.

I've barely done any game shopping online this year, but I'm gonna nominate Amazon for channeling all their discounts into digital distribution and leaving those of us that like tangible products in the dust.

I feel like I have to say gamestop. Games rarely come complete, and site availability isn't always correct (says available, but can't add to cart). There one saving grace is that you can exchange the game in store for one thats complete, but that's assuming they even have it in stock:/

I'm nominating AMAZON. They had no deals this year asides from occasionally PMing best buy

They need to be sent a message from gamers that they threw in the towel this year.

No PM, no original sales...

Gamestop. Can't hardly find something worth buying online there anymore. That includes Inpulse service. Terrible.

Worst? I'm not sure it was the worst but Amazon was very disappointing this year. Most deals were PM's and preorder bonuses were weaker then ever.

Yeah id nominate Gamestop. Amazon had a few deals like the AC3 $33 - 10 promo code from the Vita. That was sweet, and the AC Vita bundle alone was awesome. I even wanted to grab the Bond 50 at 100. Also Amazon Digital Services kicked MAJOR ass with Tony. That alone should make Amazon better than Gamestop.

Gamestop tho, I just dont shop online through them or thru B&M. I went into Gamestop like once last year for a Kindle and LBP Vita "new" (got a gutted with a nice fat sticker on it)other than that it was 1-2 times for .99 PS2 games or some other shit to flip to Target/BB/Blockbuster. Its just everything goes through Best Buy for preorders or used.

Zavvi, took them 3 months to finally ship my order and when it arrived it was the wrong item. Then they expected me to pay return postage to the UK to get a refund. TERRIBLE.

Capcom's online store because they haven't bothered to give Digital River the boot even after they (DR) really botched timely deliveries of some of the bigger Capcom releases this past year. The customer service for the store is handled by Capcom, and it seems like they really could care less when their Customers recieve their preorders 2 weeks after the release date, and missing preorder bonuses. Pretty lame.

I'm gonna have to go with Amazon. Their PC download deals were fantastic, but everything else is a hollow shell of what it once was.
