Well, I'm going to tell you. I'm going to tell you about 1 online gaming store that I have had experiences with. One extremely bad.
Theslammer.com.
Theslammer.com has to be the worst store I have ever been to, let alone the worst online gaming store.
I have many a story to tell you about this supposedly 'excellent' gaming store.
I first found this shop on the Internet when I was looking for places to pre-order a PlayStation 2. I found theslammer.com. They said I would get £30 off my PS2, AND that I would get it before Christmas.
I got an e-mail from them later telling me about my order and that my PS2 would cost £300. Where had my £30 off gone??
Anyway, Xmas came....and went. No PS2. I e-mailed them, they said it would come late January. So January came....and went. Still no PS2. They said I wasn't likely to get it before March. So, I kept e-mailing them for updates, but I never got any replies. Fortunately, I found a PS2 for sale on the shelf in my local Toys 'R' Us, and got one from there.
I e-mailed them to cancel my order. They confirmed it a couple of weeks later.
I checked my bank account a couple of days later and look, £300 HAD GONE FROM MY ACCOUNT!!
Theslammer.com said when I ordered that they wouldn't take the cash until I'd got it. They'd actually taken the money a few days after I'd ordered it!!
I was livid. I called theslammer, no response. I e-mailed them, threatening to call the police on them, no response. Theslammer have STOLEN £300 from me, and I'm VERY annoyed about it.
Anyway, while I was waiting for my PS2, I ordered Worms Armageddon for PlayStation in the Free games zone. To this day I still haven't got that game.
So I have ordered a PS2 from them, they took the money and I never got a PS2. I ordered a free game, and I never got it.
In my opinion, this is the worst store in the World. DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY!!!
THe only good thing about this shop is that they sell quite a lot of stuff, but that depends on whether you actually RECIEVE it or not.
So there you are, 1 gaming store, which is complete tosh. Remember them.
Thanks for reading, Ant.

The moral of this story is clear, kiddies...
Stick to buying your games and hardware from Special Reserve. They're quick, reliable, and friendly.
