In the Gamespot sponsored links section i just noticed there is a sit called 'Unlimitedps3downloads' with a link - this is a site that ripped me off foe £38 pounds and there 60 day returns policy is obviously part of the lie - they are not contactable......i'm not sure if GAMESPOT are able to control who appears in their sponsored links but it against good conscience for them to allow these crooks to advertise on their site.

If you see this link dont subscribe!

Is there a way i can contact gamspot to ask them why they include these people on their site?

First of all, I'd like to say i feel your pain, it sucks really bad to get caught by ads like this.

Second of all, this link contains what it sounds like you're looking for., I am not sure if this will be any help though.

That does have a contact gamespot directly email service, so i hope it can help you out.

Sorry that happenned to you, It really does suck.

i would suggest you to use Mozilla Firefox and download the Ad-Block plus add-on. it blocks so the ads wont bother you again. it really works well. like when you watch a video review here at gamespot, it show the video review right on and skips the video ads that play before it.
