@Beth – Yeah, CC is interesting in that way. Even when they have better prices and deals, no one goes in because it’s just not as welcoming as Best Buy stores. I think I might have read or heard something more about that in that ppl tend to love the “warehouse” feel that stores like Fry’s and MicroCenter and Best Buy give you.

Oh, that’s interesting. I am not fond of the Circuit City stores (to go in them) but there have been many times they beat the prices of other places on an item I wanted. So, I have purchased many things from them online and in store.

@Pete – Not gonna lie, when I read your comment this morning… I laughed.

@Teeni – You’d think. I mean, I thought I heard that spending last quarter was down.. and I’ve heard that people are expecting great deals for this year’s Black Friday because of how bad ppl are feeling with the economy so I guess we’ll see.

@Angela – I used to work there and got in trouble when I would leave my section (at customer’s request) to help them in other areas. They would grab me from videogames because I had been so helpful and ask me if I knew about HDTVs or computers because either A) There was no staff in that section or B) The staff IN that section acted like they had better things to do than help customers with thousand dollar purchases.

I really never understood it. If someone just made a Best Buy like store with decent customer service, They could blow Best Buy out of the water. No doubt.

I’m a Circuit City fan. I hate Best Buy. Their employees are rude. My dad and I discovered that when we went to buy our first HDTV. We left “Worst” Buy and went to Circuit City and since then, I’ve bought EVERYTHING from them. My old camera, my old laptop, my new camera, my mp3 player, etc.

Yeah, it really stinks when one chain loses it’s competition. But with this economy, I would think places like Best Buy would suffer too.

I have nothing to add to this being in the UK, but I’ll say “hello everyone”
