I would always avoid going to Best Buy in favor of going to Circuit City. The two stores always had the same prices or at least close enough but I always liked shopping at Circuit City a lot more. As we all I would assume are aware of, Circuit City will soon be no more. Today I got an e-mail saying that they had Digital SLR cameras 30% off, so after dropping my car off for an oil change Jenn and I went to go check the deals out. What I found was really quite depressing.

I have been to store close outs before, but I don't remember being as bothered by it as I was today. It was a real up close look at the troubling economy. Granted I understand the ups and downs of the market, its just the way it goes, but it was just kind of a weird experience going to a store I have spent many days buying my electronics from. Not to mention that they didn't have my Nikon D60 that Jenn and I were looking to buy. I guess now with Circuit City gone I will going to buy all my electronics online! Its easier anyways!
