tawolf73 Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 i don't think it will in our area of upstate NY since we just finally got the long awaited Best Buy here! I think the lines and campers will be NUTS there so I will be avoiding it...but good luck to those who venture there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc1824 Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I will miss my yearly standing in line overnight at CC. We only have BB now and there will be no sense in standing in that line as it will fill up way faster than anything this year if they have good deals. I bet the people will be there from Wednesday night now till friday morning. It was like the time when the ps3 came out people were in line for days. not sure how they do this, but the longest line I was ever in was from Thurs night at 6:00 p.m. until 5:00 am fri (blk), but not to bad.

Scanner420 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Eventhough CC and Cmp USA is gone, BB still has competetion with Wal Mart, TRU and Target. They'll stay the same with the BF sales, as they have in past years. They won't let up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaInNC Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 We have HH Gregg opening up in the closed CC location in Cary, NC. That makes 3 within a 10 mile radius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjimslade Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I really dont see WM, TRU or Target as competition for BB. The only reason I say that is electronics is only a small part of WM, TRU and Targets business model. Eventhough CC and Cmp USA is gone, BB still has competetion with Wal Mart, TRU and Target.

Rose0426 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 We just got a 6th Avenue store here in DE. Looks like they have pretty good prices and will give BB a little competition. Has anyone ever bought from them? How are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRU I'll give you since their electronics dept is just based on video games and MP3 players, but Wal Mart and Target have a pretty good selection of electronics in store and you could get even more of a selection there on-line, and with Wal Mart's price match guarantee, BB better not let their guard down this season thinking they're the only ones in the electronic selling game.

BB better not rest on this BF..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wx4svr Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Because of the good deals online and since BB is making up for Circuit City's absence... I think you won't even notice it. Just one less ad in the paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcster Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I think that Newegg.com might step it up a notch (granted they are online only). In addition to OfficeMax, Office Depot, and Staples.... I think Radio Shack would be wise to step it up a notch. Granted, none of those places carry DVDs or appliances, but they can all compete on TVs, cordless phones, flash drives, digital cameras, and computers....

celticlady Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I used to shop CC online on Thanksgiving DAY! It was great. I got the deals for BF and never got out of my PJ's! Will be interesting to see if the re-incarnation of CC works as well..... Need laptops and netbooks here this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need laptops and netbooks here this year!There won't be anything different then what you see on SysteMax other websites, Compusa, Tigerdirect. Its all the same stuff same sales. Circuit City is no more. I fear for the people who don't know that and think the website is REALLY Circuit City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeepNeep Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I don't think that BB will have the incentive to offer any exceptional DB or ad pricing, as they have done in the past, with CC out of the picture. And the BB prices last BF weren't anything to write home about... BB BF lines will probably be longer, as well. Lose a major 'tech' competitor and some retailer(s) will benefit from the loss. C'mon BB. Make a liar out of me and have some great prices this year. I dare ya! :eyepoppin:eyepoppin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennie_bebe Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I will not miss CC one bit, but I will miss the competition that it provided for BB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barc Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 2007 was the last year for CompUSA and 2008 was the last year for Circuit City. With Best Buy being the only national electronics chain left for BF deals, how do you think this will affect tech deals on BF? I don't know how their deals will be affected, but if their current trend of crappy customer service is any indication of what's to come, it isn't going to be a net positive. BB has really gone downhill this year. Thanks gosh we have the Internet to buy from. I only go to BB to check out models and then I buy them over the 'net.
