I will try to collect all the info in the Threadstarter from time to time.

Ok, so heres mine:


--- Finding Good Deals:

I use,beside the here known savygamer and the bargain thread,this Webpage :

- http://isthereanydeal.com/?by=price:asc

Its updated hourly,covers the major services,is well structured and has lots of Filters

Great,but limited to nine big Gameshops


--- Game Shop Impressions:

- Gamersgate:

Separate Installer which only activates to download the game,good and fast Customer Support,Links Patches are provided but must be installed manually,Manuals can be downloaded,Paypal,DL are Quick,
Users can post (even bad) reviews when they own the game,
Tons of Good deals
Good Filters for sorting Games

Good/if not better Alternative to Steam,if you dont mind the Absence of
autoupdates/Social networking/steamworks.-


- Getgames:

Similar Installer as Gamersgate,Had to ask for a multiplayer key for one Game as none was provided on the Page,but Customer Support was Good and Quick (under one hour),Prepatched Games,did only accept Paypal for Games which cannot be activated with Steam,
Some Good Deals
Limited Filters

Ok,but feels a bit unfinished.-
