Best Buy to close 50 stores

[Rico]

Not too surprised by this.  They have been going downhill in service and selection for awhile now.  Plus they have a ton of competition too.

Sad - hate to see people loosing their livelihoods.

Check to see if your Best Buy is closing.  I was shocked that so far, all the Michigan Best Buys dodged the bullet - this time.

Cool, ours isn't closing. Ft. Myers and Tampa are though. I love that place. It's a way better place than Circuit City was. I still love going to an electronics store and browsing...don't want to see them all go away.

Huh, surprised they aren't closing at least one Oregon store, we have a lot of them near and in the Portland area.  Must be profitable *shrug*

All those rich Portlandians like their overpriced Best Buy electronics :)

The dream of the 90s is alive in Portland.
