    Unironically, Best Buy pivoted really well into the modern market and they sell a lot of broad tech stuff at good prices. I’ve bought a lot of stuff including SSD’s, ram, and a big 43" monitor from them with good discounts. Don’t diss them till you’ve used them.

    GameStop though, I’m still not sure how theyre in business. Mostly Nintendo physical items I think.

      Best buy has been on my “one-bad-black-friday bankrupsy” bet for years, yet they seemed to have survived the death of Sears, Radioshack, Circuit City, and Frys Electronics…

      For me, as a customer, they are the shop of last resort. I will go literally anywhere else because they will likely have the thing, but no specific models. If you need an SSD, RAM (lol no in todays market) or a cable they will likely have it, but its going to be a smaller range than Microcenter, if time is no object, just order exactly what you need.

      The thing I will give them credit for is keeping the home theatre market, I feel that only a fool will buy a TV without physically looking at it first (they turn the blue up, just an FYI).
