ConsoleFever webstore is a SCAM.
Console Fever - Fraud. Warning! Description:
The way they this scam work is that these scammers set up a store on a new domain. Domain costs today have dramatically fallen and are as low as $7 US for one year of dot.com registration. The second step is they create an affiliate program and lure unsuspecting webmasters into their net by offering promotional items or free stuff for holding competitions and so on. In fact they do send some items out and so they get legitimate websites linking to their site. (Gameboy Power got fooled this way).
Now they do have a small stock of items to sell and new customers coming to their site every day. At firs to get positive feedback and to grow some uses confidence they work for 3-6 month as a normal business avoiding any suspicion.
The SCAM starts:
They run out of stock but do not show this on their website. Customers start complaining because ConsoleFever (or another one of their stores) is still taking orders and billing customer Credit Cards but isn't shipping any of the sold items. Your normal e-mails will be ignored. If you start threatening that you will contact your bank to reverse the charge on you credit card - the usual auto replies are:
We were mowing servers and there was a problem with the database. During the server change over, we had a lot of email come in that we could not reply to. We are working hard to reply to all email. Due to the recent server change, we have lost a very large number of emails. We apologize if your email was not replied to previously. It most certainly was as a result of *not* receiving your email. Because of the server change and having to ensure everything was 100% up and running, we have also had a large number of email messages which we have received and we are working very hard to reply to them in a reasonable amount of time. Because of this we are having to catch up on our email and our regular response times of 24 hours or less are not possible. ...some other lame excuse for not replying and not sending the items on time. (if you would check the IP address of the srver you will see that it was not moved for the last 12 month)

This site's server is in Germany, and they do not seem to actually ship any orders. VISA chargeback time for these scammers.
