I really don't miss either of these places. K*B went out of business in my area a few years ago. Circuit City was a place I went to rarely at best. Only if they had something irresistible in the ad would I consider making the drive. The only good experience I had was in high school and I bought a pair of subs for my car B1G1. Other than that, not impressed with the selection or staff.
Of course, the time between the subs and later visits was when they went through their "house cleaning" of good staff.

CC was alright. The thing that sucks, not only with CC but with any known business, are the jobs lost and less competition meaning BB will be able to hike there prices. I don't like BB too much in the first place and now that is the only store pretty much for certain items it sucks.

Be very careful of those markdowns. The electronics stuff is generally marked up 30% so they can take 30% off.
Yea, I've heard they were doing this from numerous sources. I also went their Saturday and they were selling GH III & GH:Aerosmith with the guitar and game for $40. I went in yesterday (less than a week later) and they are selling them for $69!!! :oWTF!

60% off games this week. All my CC had left are GH guitar bundles and half a display case of 360/PS3 games (and at least a quarter of those were game only GH games).
They had 3 or 4 Fallout 3 CE's that I was going to buy until I realized they were the PC not 360 versions. Then I thought maybe I could resell them, but with taxes and shipping it would only be something like $10 less than retail with a $5 profit for me.

Total hell! Circuit City sold "The Source" to Bell.
(A couple of years ago Circuit City bought the Canadian chain of Radio Shack and urned them into "The Source". )
Now Bell is going to use it to promote their cell phones and TV. Now where the hell am I going to buy my supplies for homemade circuits and soldering? Damnit!
