It's probably been done before but who is your best internet shop and local game shop?? and who is your worse?? Also who's the best Importers and the worse?? Here are mine ones....

Best Internet Shop: Gameplay
Runner Up: Ukgames.com
Worse internet shop: DVDboxoffice {great prices but nothing ever seems to be in stock and they don't tell you}

Best Local Game shop: Game
Runner Up: Gamestation
Worse Game shop: Woolworths {because they don't understand you can get a game at least £10 cheaper around the corner}

Best Importers: Goblindirect
Runner up: Newageconsoles {expensive but delivery is superb}

Best Internet Shop + Runner Up: --Tied between sr (for the free games!), play.com (all rounders) and gameplay.co.uk (for customer service competence)

Worse internet shop: ebay/game - a bunch of chimps with no idea what they're doing, who ignore difficult questions caused by their screw-ups until you threaten legal action. As you may be able to tell, i've had bad experiences with ebay :^)
(that said, i've had not hugely dissimilar experiences with sr, though that was only one member of staff, with ebay, it was loads of them).


Best Local Game shop: Woolworths (not that they're good, but there's no real competition round here. they make the cut above dixons because they sold zelda oot for a tenner once)

Runner Up: umm.. dixons.

Worse Game shop: 'gamepark' - the only other place you can buy games, they tried to sell me a second hand virtual chess 64 a month before the cube release, for £20.


Best Importers: dvdboxoffice

Runner up: lan-kwei.com

Worse Importers: seen a few dodgy dealers, but it has to go to micmic.com, purely for failing to make their site even work, let alone look professional or trustworthy :^)

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
Brilliant service.
Love it, love it, love it!
