You'll be singing a different tune when they go under and Best Buy becomes the unchallenged dominant force in the market. It'll be just like when Gamestop bought up EBGames. All of sudden for better or worse EB was gone, Gamestop was the only video game store, and because of that Gamestop actually got worse.

People actually said the same thing when HD DVD was about to go under, that all those great deals that were happening at the time would die out. Also, there were many who claimed all those 2 for 1 deals would just continue like usual!! When is the last time there has been one of those by the way??????????????

Although that deal (buy 10 get $100+ off) Amazon had at Christmas was mighty sweet! But I think you catch my drift!!

i have to agree, but it depends on the store. there are two CC stores within about 5 miles of where i live. one is nice and quiet, i never get disturbed by anyone asking if i need help umpteen times, and i get what i need and leave. the other one is actually the opposite, there are usually a lot of employees working there and i always get asked numerous times if i need help even when i say no, and the ONLY time i go there is when it's the only place i can find something...

... Not sure why you quoted me. That post had nothing to do with what I said.

No my point was more along the lines that right now CC is the lesser of two evils in the electronics shopping center realm. Right now BB is generally a fairly poor place to shop in terms of the type of service you get from their employees. If CC goes under then not only will BB be your only option but they'll be the only game in town and their service will get even worse because they don't have to worry about you going to that "other store". Essentially it's like trading 2 mediocre stores for one absolutely horrid store.
Although now that you mention it I suppose I would be a mite concerned that BB will be less inclined to have as many quality deals.

If I misunderstood your point, Sorry!![]()

That would be a shame. I like going there for stuff over BB most of the time. More often then not, whenever a new video game comes out they have a buy this game, get a $10 gift card type thing. Always saves you $10 the next time a game comes out, can't complain about that.

No offense but wishing that people lose their job/income is well...asinine.

I just lost all the CC stores in my area right before Christmas. If anyone is looking for deals then look elsewhere. I popped in about four or five times during the various stages of clearance at a couple stores and there wasn't a deal on anything IMO. Everything gets set to MSRP and then 10% to 30% off. The uninformed pick up anything decent thinking it is a good deal. When the prices drop below Best Buy prices the selection has slimmed way down. When the prices drop below Amazon.com prices the only stuff left is the shelves, display model TV stands, and general crap.
You'll get a better deal by vowing to never set foot into a closing CC and using that gas savings to just buy the item at BB. Better yet order it online elsewhere.

While I believe that's what the OP heard, I doubt that a store manager would have been given this information from corporate. In fact, there are probably only a handful of people with access to this type of info. Had it of leaked out, it would have been all over the financial news.
Maybe they should be bailed out as well (JK)!
