Circuit city announced today that it was going out of business so who is going to see if they can get some good deals.

maybe some CD/DVD boxes, or heated coffee cup... i think it's all we can grab from that company... there never had any interesting stuff in that boutique anyway... Radio-Shack in the past, Circuit-City now, same thing, just the name changed... i got my first Tandy there, by force.. lol

Canadian stores aren't closing. Only the US stores.

Will have to see if they have any good deals on computers and other electronics in the next 60 days. They plan on having all 556 stores closed by March 31st though. Seems like they might have found a buyer for their online operations though. Doesn't help the people that work in the retail stores but we'll see how many warehouse and distribution jobs it saves if the deal goes through.

That's so strange as they just opened a new one near me.

I'll have to buy all my electronics online from now on. Only other electronics store we have locally is Best Buy and I refuse to shop there because of the lack of customer service. Well there are Wal-mart and Target but their selections are a joke and the customer services is also non-existant.

I guess Amazon will get more of my money.

I hate to say this but I'm not sad to see big organizations like this go but really hate to see people losing their jobs. Maybe give the mom and pop's a new shot? Remember that customer service?

TigerDirect.com FTW!

Their customer service is a tad on the slow time should you have any problems with an order, but it still beats the Best Buy customer service and they're always more than willing to make it right.

Ex: 2 weeks ago, i bought an OEM vista dvd from them, this week they run a special giving away a free 500GB harddrive with the purchase of vista OEM dvd, I email them and my new HD is on the way :up:
