Down with Best Buy

[Cyrax9]

Well as Perfect Stu said, I wound up HAVING to pirate my own ****ing Recovery CD because the Mother ****ers at Alienware won't send me the correct mother **ing Recovery CD!

As for Best Buy, I'll beware to avoid going there again as well, I wanted an "Older" VCR and it was discontinued, the guy said the model I wanted (The Sony SLV-N81) was Actually better than the new Sony SLV-N88, and then he tries to sell me the ****ing SLV-N88 any ***ing way! Talk about ignorant stupidity! For the Record, I bought a Factroy refurbished SLV-N81 off of eBay and it's the ebst machine I've evr gotten, anywhere! Take that Best ***ing Buy!

I'm buyong a Panasonic DMR-E20S DVD Recorder/Player Console for my TV, I thought about Geting it form Best Buy or Curcuit City, I'll get it from Curicuit City, now maybe if Sony made a d@mn DVD Recorder/Player Console, I'd buy there's to go with my VCR and new TV that I'm getting, but since they're to lazy wrecking VCR's so that tye Play tapes but dont RECORD them, it's called a VC "R" for a Reason Video Casste RECORDER, if I wanted a player, I'd buy a VCP Video cassette PLAYER, so not only will Panasonic get my money to spite Sony for trying to produce Crap instead of Decent machines, they'll get my Money since they have a superiour product.

I am getting a ony WEGA 27" TV though for my Bedroom, my neighbor Just got the same model form Best Buy because they wouldn't sell him the one he wanted at the Advertised Discount in the d@amn Best ****ing Buy flyer, which was a model up with PIP (the one he has and I'm getting doesn't have PIP), so he's a s p*ssed at them as I am, and I'll order te D@mn TV direct from Sony, they have goot TV's, but Bad DVD-Players and VCR's now that they killed there best model, and Best Buy can screw-off for al I care, they stil owe me a f***ing GCN memory Card that they won't "pay up" on, so I'm done with them unless I have to go back there, hell, I'd rather go tol Wal-Mart for games than Bes buy at this point.

If you people hate Best Buy so much, why do you shop there?

Yes good old San Diego and their Gay Mart. Never been to that hellish city since. Still have the nightmares...

Straying WAY off topic there's a place called Gay Mart? Is it a FABULOUSLY Gay Mart? Like Rob Halford Gay? Or just nervous Nellie gay?

I wouldn't know. Just passed it while in the car.

It's better off not knowing such things anyway.

Right when you walk into the checkout lane with any kind of electronic device or when an employee is trying to make a sale...and remember that they are not on commission (they are supposed to stress this to make you feel better):

Example: Nintendo GameCube

Best Buy Employee:
Hi, did you know that on this Nintendo GameCube we offer a 3 year service plan(brings out pamphlet and shows you the options) for only $$$$. If anything should break or happen within the 3 years all you have to do is bring it back in with your reciept and we will take care of it for you. If we can't repair the item, then we will replace it with new one of equal value. It covers everything that comes in the box including controllers and all cords from normal wear and tear, dust, manufacturer defects and accidents that may occur......blah blah blah.....considering the amount you are paying for this system, the service plan comes out to only this much$$$ per year. Would you be interested in this??


How's that??? Thats how it goes if I remember correctly? I know cause I used to work there. They offered those plans on every little electronic device they had. Even on $10 phones.......who in their right minds would pay $7 for a replacement plan for a $10 phone??? Might as well just get a new one because by the time the phone actually breaks, there are better phones out there for $10.

I'm guessing on some of the more expensive electronics that it might actually be worth getting the service plans because it could end up saving you big $$$ if anything did ever go wrong, but on many of the other electronics, I think they are just out to take you hard earned money.

One more thing.....the employee discounts were
