World's Worst in Videogame: Best Buy Edition
In the launch of the X-Box 360, nobody would actually sell the system alone. Instead, many venders sold it as a bundle with many other games or accessories.
Best Buy not only did that, but some Best Buys decided to increase the amount of items required for purchase with a 360 THAT NIGHT.
The corporate center of Best Buy has acknowledged that there was a problem and has appologized (here: http://blogs.mercurynews.com/aei/2005/11/best_buys_respo.html ), but as Joystiq tells (here: http://www.joystiq.com/entry/1234000980070833/ ), the action they have taken doesn't go far enough.
I do like that they are taking steps to rectify the problem, but have only promised not to do this in the future for the X-Box 360 specificly, no other systems were specified.
Until Best Buy goes as far as Joystiq calls for, they get the the Worst Persons in Videogames award.
