    In a way I'm surprised but I'm not either. It's a shame they are :(

    I am sure one of them will be near me. I have three within 5 miles or so. One was just completed last year as a conversion from a Circuit City. I remember thinking there are more BB now than Target's, they have to be running out of customers....It is sad though to see any business close due to lack of customers. As long as I have Fry's for components and Costco and Apple store for computers I am OK.

    Times are tough. It's going to get worse before it gets better.

    Its sad to see them go. I have one close to me. I don't know where I'm going to get my tech stuff now except online because there used to be a Circuit City near me as well. :(

    Pretty sad to see them go. We used to have a CompUSA here along with the Bestbuy, and it was awful having them leave, too. It seems that soon the only place we'll be able to buy hardware locally is Wal-Mart or something.

    That's weird, I thought they were dominating the tech retail category

    Best Buy is still doing good in Canada, at least where I live. As is Future Shop.
