I always found Circuit City's stores to be more nicely maintained/organized than Best Buy. Also the employees have generally been a bit more knowledgable/helpful in my experience. I'm biased though, I really loathe best buy. At any rate, I would think Circuit City's struggles are bad news for us right? I mean if CC goes under, BB won't have as much competetive pressure on them to persuade consumers with low-prices/sales etc. |

You're going to see a lot more of this due to the spending freeze a lot of homes are suffering this year. I mean I was just reading on Yahoo how some poor woman had to sell one of her 4 homes because of hard times. Oh the humanity! **shakes head** |
