I don't normally go out of my way to review big box stores, but this one makes me happy! Best Buy has opened a new location on 17th Ave, which makes me smile since I'll no longer have to drive out to suburbia to get my electronic gadget fix.
We typically do our research for whatever we are going to buy online... The information tends to be better than in-store, where you are subject to the knowledge and opinions of whichever employee happens to be working that day. The added bonus of online research is that you can determine which store (Best Buy, Future Shop, Memory Express, etc) has the best price. These stores all have price matching policies, which means you can go to the store nearest you and still get the best price available. Best Buy gives you an additional 10% off of the difference between their price and the competitor's price as well! So you can end up saving quite a bit of your hard earned cash by doing some research in advance.
Another bonus: this location has electronics recycling! I have been building a pile of the "electronic-stuff-that-doesn't-work-but-that-should-be-recycled" for a while now... there is now a nearby location to drop it off!
