CompUSA always sucked balls and once people learned about Newegg and TigerDirect they really sucked balls. Although, I do need a new fan for my desktop and I thought, I’ll just run out to Comp…oh nevermind. ---

They just cant compete with Newegg and other online retailers. Not very surprising,they had AWFUL prices.Too much overhead. EDIT…Agreed on circuit shitty.We need a Fry’s. ---

Well, chalk this up to rumor (in fact, rumor with prejudice if you must), but... [/quote] This has been happening for a while. Tey have been closing stores nationally for many months.

the thing I really like about both compUSA and Circuit City was they carried stuff that bestbuy and most local electronic places didn’t (or atleast, had a more diverse selection). It was great for going to grab, like was mentioned, a case or a fan or heatsink, ect. none of the above obviously can touch newegg… but the convenience was nice for getting something on the fly. I’d still rather shop at either one than best buy ---

About damn time. I opened the store on NFB. Hated it when I was working there. Never good deals. The only reason I bought from them when I was there is because I got a discount. Get a Frys or Staples in Buffalo! Those stores would do much better. ---

[/quote] Your gift card goes “poof”. [http://www.compusa.com/](http://www.compusa.com/) and use it quick. Your store card on the other hand, that will not go away.
