but...
on the occasions when you are searching for a product I'm betting that you want to find the best site to do the price comparisons with (and \or reviews).
The fact that Google presents you with their shopping results ahead of anyone else's, and often in lieu of anyone else's clearly shows they know what you want to see but chose not to show it. Added to that they probably game their results to give themselves the largest commission if a sale does go through.
If Google were operating decently they would show the top rated shopping/comparison sites so you could get the best deal, not them!
