Circuity City is officially closing all stores in the US.

[G.I.R]

Theres a CC and a BB on each side of Highway 85, both reachable by Almaden Expressway as well.
I'm thinking about heading to CC to look for some anime dvds. Should I bother?

I wouldn't expect much.  I've always found their DVD selection in general (let alone anime selection specifically) disappointing.  Hey, if you can find a really good deal, then score.  Just don't go in with high expectations.

Dittos.  (Oh god! I just used a Rush Limbagh lister-ism!)

[JTchinoy]

Yeah. I went with a friend to CC yesterday just to check out the "deals". Well sure enough, everything was 10% off (unless there is a 'sale' sign). games were 20% off and accessories were 30% off.

Too bad even with 10% off, their crap is STILL more expensive than BB, lewl. And the games? Well, I have to admit I did pick up GH: Aerosmith since it was $36 (with guitar of course). Other than that, all the games are ass for all systems. But man, all the workers had such a bad attitude with the shoopers (obviously since they are all getting canned..>_>; ). But still...

ps. Beat GH: Aerosmith... did not enjoy it ...-_-;

Shoppers are a very ungrateful bunch, particularly when sales are present.  If I were them, I'd be pissed too.  Well this is just on top of them getting canned.  The people at Fremont CC were pretty cool when I called before they shut down.

I'm ok as long as Fry's is ok. I live far from it but whatever I journey there which is worth it.

My friend went to check out KB Toys and asked what's up with their store closing down. The workers almost broke down into tears =(

[XpHoBiaX]

Kb's closing too? :'(

[JTchinoy]

Already closed I think.

Thanks for the warning. I went there anyway, and as for anime dvds: NOTHING.
I'll head to Fry's tomorrow.

I think a lot are atm.

I don't believe it's gotten to the point where all of them are, but yeah, pretty soon it's gonna happen.

Anime DVD's:   Best Buys > Fry's > Circuit City.   (fry's doesn't always get them in on the release dates)

[Jerry]

Ironically i could think of random websites that actually have better prices than Best buy or Fry's but i hardly buy anime let alone electronics in this economy...

i need to win the lottery already :P

[LordKefka]

Screw lottery. At times like this selling body parts is the quick and easy way for moneyz.

[XpHoBiaX]

I may just sell a liver on the black market.
...And hope I don't wake up in a tub full of ice with a bomb inside me...
...or never wake up at all. 0_0

[Jerry]

sounds like someone been watching the SAW movies too often

well I had a friend lucky enough to get the GHWT for $133+ tax.

but then again GH has kinda gone downhill with the 16 versions they plan to release :P

I'll take Rockband 2 any day.

technically speaking once video games and blue rays go on liquidation sale then I'll randomly poke in and out. but till then I'm letting the crowds have their day(s)

i can be patient.

[HentaiTentacleDemon]

this blows :T but then again the only two competitors are Frys and Best Buy...

how about MicroCenter & Central Computers?

[JTchinoy]

do you honestly think they make a blip on the radar compared to frys and bestbuy?

not to mention most of their stuff is grossly overpriced compared to frys.

[G.I.R]

I've never even heard of Central Computer.
And there's only two Micro Centers in California any way.

[Stormfalcon]

Central is mainly local to the Bay Area.  Four stores (Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, San Francisco, & Newark), plus one in China ( O_o ).  For computer hardware, they're a pretty good source.

[JTchinoy]

prices are meh.
newegg and frys got my back for my computer building

[Stormfalcon]

As long as you know what you're doing and keeping an eye on what you're about to plunk your money down for, Frys can be decent.  If not, well, I best not say.

i've seen Central's prices beat Fry's plenty of times. the only thing that they can beat over at Central is Fry's CPU & Mobo combo deals, but i've save plenty of money by checking out other stores first.

i don't care if Fry's & BB, have a monopoly in the other states, but as long as they have competition in CA, then i'm happy. competition = lower prices.
