Sorry, this is a bit off topic ...

Did anyone notice that they closed a few CompUSA stores in the SF Bay Area? They closed the one next to IKEA in East Palo Alto and the other one in Santa Clara (on El Camino). Guess they haven't been doing so well.

Anyone have any thoughts on that emachine desktop? Seems like a lot of power for $380. It's Model T6532, Athlon 64 3500+, 1 GB RAM, 200 GB hard drive, DVD-RW and Windows Media Center. Two rebates totaling $170.

They converted the Good Guys to a CompUSA/gg! over near the Hillsdale Mall in San Mateo. Also saw one at the shopping mall in Milpitas. Maybe they're just consolidating to the Good Guys locations.

They converted the GoodGuys at Southland Mall in Hayward, then 3 or 4 months later closed it. No Great Loss !

How is a 60GB Ipod for $399.99 on sale? It retails for that anyway. $60 for a 1 GB SD is a ripoff, not a "sale."

am in for sony media!

 

[splat00n]

I work at compUSA as a tech btw, used to be a cashier and yeah it is dieing slowly, predicted to shut down in the next ten years.

but alot of good sales lately..

 

[NasdaqTrader889]

I have to agree that CUSA has had some good sales as oflate. I didn't buy anything from them the past three years, online or B&M, then this past November I noticed they started having fairly good prices.

Now their rebate center is something else. Still up to their old tricks of denial of rebate until the customer makes contact with fulfillment center.

Do a search here or at FW or cd freaks. Many are reporting finding 8 or 16x MIJ TY's. About the best media you can get but you have to know what to buy.

Thanks for the post.

Dunno how an 80gb hdd for $59.99 can be considered a deal?

Newegg has the western digital 80gb oem (3 year warranty) hdd for $51 + $0.99 delivery here.

Thanks for bringing us the news of the sale, tho!
