    Circuit city because they will match ANY price on ANYTHING as long as the other store has it in stock. And the protection plans cover everything if you can afford it!

    Best buy.
    They’ve probably received about 2,000 bucks from the CDs I’ve gotten.

    Circuit City cuz “Best Buy” is not really the “best buy”…
    ever hear of the “in store best buy website” where the prices are totally different from the best buy website that people see out of the store. They had a lawsuit cuz of that

    i prefer circuit city..i recently went to best buy to get a flat screen and they tried talking me into a model that wasn’t being made anymore, had no warranty, no remote and no manual so i said no and went to circuit city and got a really good TV that included all of the above for cheaper then best buy wanted for the other one

    Circuit City.
    Best Buy charges a return fee

    Circuit city cuz you can get insurance on that stuff and get it replaced for any reason

    Circuit City because they stand behind their products 100%! We bought a computer from there and our first computer screen was faulty,so they just had us bring it back with our receipt and it was replaced,no questions asked! We have had our current computer for a long time and we have never had a problem with it! Circuit City is the way to go because they are very knowledgeable about electronics,and they will help you to understand how to operate anything from a computer to a digital camera,etc…

    Circuit City always stands behind what they sell. Best Buy is ok if you don’t have Circuit City. CC also price matches most anything they sell that BB has.
    Circuit City helped me get my Onkyo receiver I wanted by special ordering it when best buy wanted to charge me to special order it.

    Best Buy has a larger and smarter computer department, and a better video game selection. Circuit City has more of the media disks. I prefer Best Buy because I feel their crew is better-informed in general, however if I could choose to buy a TV from one, (I always use pricegrabber.com) CC has better warranties. Sorry for the lack of help.

    Well Best Buy’s prices aren’t always the “Best Buy”, but I don’t like Circuit City. When I got my Wii last year, I wanted to play Gamecube games on it. I didn’t know that you can just use a regular gamecube controller for it, so I asked a guy working a Circuit City “What controller do I need to play Gamecube games on the Wii?” He said “The Wii classic controller is the one you need!” and I asked “are you positive?” and he said 100% sure. So sure enough the controller didn’t work and I was actually pretty pissed because I really wanted to play Paper Mario (lol), but the next day I went to return the Bogus Controller with th receipt. I asked another person at Circuit City “What controller do I need to play Gamecube games on the Wii?” because the “bogus controller” I had didn’t work. She said “Just use a regular gamecube controller. At that point I was pretty mad that it was that simple, but I went to exchange the two controllers. First off the regular Gamecube Controller was 20 bucks which I thought was a bad price, but the other “bogus controller” was 20 bucks also so I thought it would be an even return….right? Wrong! They made me pay 6 bucks or something for I dont know why. I even mention that me buying the “bogus controller” was their mistake, but they just said too bad. Well guess what Circuit City? I’ve chosen Best Buy over you ever since!!! HA eat that!!!

    AND that was my fantastic story


    HALO 3 KING ya bbaby!!! on 9 May, 2009 at 12:59 am #

    Best Buy just because they have much more stuff than circuit city. Best buy doesnt have a return fee if u return it with a certain amount of time. Either way, u are going to get about the same prices, so both ar fine.

    Neither. Buying electronics online generally saves you 25% - 40%. Both are a rip off.
