Best Buy fail = I win!
Vigo:
Up in Minnesota, I think I would take a Fry's at any day. Living in BB stomping grounds does nothing for bringing the price point down. We have a couple Ultimate Electronics, which I only went to once. It was a large store layout, but seemed to be only filled with a bunch of stereo equipment lying around on the floor, huge waste of space. Not to mention the prices were only on par with BB.
Yep, I shop Newegg a lot.

Yeh I got a heck of a deal at CC on my Philips 40" LCD w/ ambilight feature for only $900 back in '07.. They were selling it for somewhere around $1200 and I had been eyeballin it for awhile, so when I finally got my tax return I went in there to purchase it only to find out that they were sold out of that model.. But the guy was really cool, wasn't trying to sell me on similiar crap or upsell, he called other stores to check if they had any but no luck, so he mentioned I could buy the floor model if I wanted and I'd get a big discount, I had never purchased anything before that was a floor model so I was pretty skeptical at first but when he said he'd throw in a 3 year warranty for only $100.. that worked for me! Still less than what I had originally gone in there looking to spend so.. go figure I buy the 3 year warranty and they go out of business a year later.. ha
Which Frys do you live 45 mins from? The one of the 91 by Camelot?

I would stay away from floor model TVs... cos they are turned on whenever the store is open, and sometimes, even when they're closed. Also, a lot of them have their settings maxed... that will shorten the tv's life a lot...
well, but you're sure you wont get any dead pixel....

While I agree with that, I have to say that sometimes the savings is worth it. I picked up a 32" Sony LCD 1080p TV for under $300 at Sears because it was a demo. It was in perfect condition and the picture is awesome. I was wary but it is a great TV. I still have trouble finding as good a TV for that price.

The one down here in San Diego. It used to be an Incredible Universe. Its off the 15 freeway. I live east, and there is ALWAYS traffic so it takes about that long. Sometimes I actually like walking around the store instead of shopping for stuff at Newegg, but I suppose if there arent too many other places to shop at except for Best Buy, then Newegg will be getting my business.

Oh right on, I'm headin up to SD for Supercross in Feb. What the heck was "Incredible Universe"?? I keep hearing people talk about that.. was that something cool I missed out on or was it just another Frys? But yeh I'm with you on the walking around the stores, sometimes you'll find stuff there they don't even have listed on their website. About 3 years ago I went into Frys and they had a bunch of NES carts on an endcap. They were all the same game though, I think it was a hockey game and some other sports game and for some reason they were all just cartridges and had clearance stickers on them. I wonder if they used to do trade-ins or if they just found all those games in the back stockroom haha
