What happened to Best Buy?

Even frys has a pathetic selection of physical games now.

LOL, I didn't even know Frys was still around. That was the place to be back in the 90's.

People realize that the day Best Buy goes under, Amazon will stop their 20% off new games with Prime and have one less place to force them to match prices, right? Be careful what you ask for.

Soooo much this.

When Circuit City went under the deals at Best Buy, Target, & Walmart were no longer as good. As CC & BB were each other's main competitors with Target & Wallyworld just kinda price matching. When BB no longer had to compete w/CC I noticed an immediate increase in DVD prices. Or I guess it was a decrease in discounts more than an actual price increase.

Anyone ever use Best Buy's old Cowboom website? You could scoop returned systems for cheap. Hell last november they were running floor model and returned PS4 systems for $209. Plus they gave you 15 days to return anything. I scooped a minty white Vita from there years ago.

I used it for awhile to pick up cheap systems. I actually scored my Neo Geo X Gold from there for about $75. Sold used but it was pretty much brand new with the boxes, paperwork, and all that jazz.
