I used to go to Best Buy weekly to look for new movies and games, but since they eliminated movies and scaled back games, I've been doing all that shopping on Amazon instead... I guess it shows who wants my money and who doesn't.
Best Buy is going to end up being just another "Hey, remember ~~Fry's~~? ~~Circuit City~~? ~~CompUSA~~? ~~Good Guys~~? ~~Tower~~? ~~Computer City~~?"
Jesus Christ, content warning for that body count you crossed off at the end there.
Fuck. I miss all those shops. Can I get a R.I.P. for Babbages, Game Crazy (pre-hollywood buyout) and Software Etc... while we're at it?
No sense in not going totally dark here. Haha
I remember software etc. They had a big event for the dreamcast being released. 9/9/99. I wore that free shirt with the date that I got there from playing sonic adventure for like 15 years
We had a pretty big event at Game Crazy. I think those shirts finally got retired after my kid grew out of them quite a few years ago.
I unfortunately... put them in the dryer to much throughout the years and they seem to have shrank. Yeah, that's what happened.
