There are tons of suckers who think Best Buy is the know-all end-all source for all their computing needs. Some rich kid will convince their dad to get it for them, no doubt in my mind.

Big reason why I personally boycott their business, and why I was so bummed about CompUSA going out of business - Comp was the only store around here that offered mid and hig-end parts at competitive pricing. Just a couple of examples (which I love to cite): 2GB set of PNY XLR8 DDR2-800 at comp was $150; the same exact kit at BB was $399 a VisionTek HD2900XT at Comp was $399; same exact card on shelf at CC was $499 Quote:
my point, exactly

I bought my iPod Mini from BestBuy when I was in the states some years ago.. It was a good deal compared to Swedish stores.

Oh yeah! its pretty stupid right there! I got to say! I've used best buy because of rewards... I buy things here and there then I get money back for it.. Some sweet stuff. But for stuff that cost more then $100 dollars, I perfer to go to newegg, or other places like that. Then I know I'm getting a deal, and Not getting some f'd up thing.. Unless your solaris, and your girl buys you a 9600 before its even ability to be sold! Then BB FTW! But really... BB WTF!?! ![]() |

Well there are $2379 video-cards on offer too, like this FireGL V8650 2048MB. It's based on the R600 (the same R600 of which those $169 HD2900 Pro cards sell), just that it comes with the FireGL extensions and loads of memory.
