Circuit City closing 69 stores, clearance sales Wednesday

I went to Circuity City last night and they would not even pricematch their own website price on a stereo. So I wasn't about to use the $40 coupon. Why create 2 different promotions and only honor 1 of them? Not only that the employees told me they will no longer pricematch anyone as part of their new policy.

Best Buy has always been better in my area. Got my TV there and they even let me use a 10% off coupon after I had bought it and refunded me that difference.

CC isn't too bad, but the main problem I always have is that when I don't want someone to assist me yet, they always bother me. But when I actually need someone to help me get an item (that's locked in a case or whatever), they're never around or already assisting other people . From what I've read lately, CC is getting into problems because they've been dropping the prices on HDTVs and it's been killing their margin. I remember on Black Friday, some of the hot ticket items at the local CC store were the HDTVs that were on sale. I bought my TV from CC for a pretty good price.

I really have had no problem with BB though. Although I've only been in there once or twice, because we don't have a local one (we only have a distro center that's local). CC's price on memory sticks yesterday (I bought a new digicam) weren't that bad either. Maybe $10 more than NewEgg excluding NE shipping costs.
