Default w00t best buy in the UK

Dunno who else new about this, and didn't see a thread here. But Best Buy is coming to the UK in 2009, because carphone spent 1.1bn in eauropean business or something like that, because Carphonewarehouse own a majority of best buy or something, it's confusing. But i don't care about that, Best Buy are coming over here because they beleive 'euorope get a pretty bad deal and servicing'

Does this mean cheepness in the UK. No, i doubt it.. but still, there's a small hope :]

Only good deal I've seen there was on that Rocketfish LianLi Case.. otherwise... they charge $600 for an 8800gtx still... imagine what they'd charge for a 9800gx2, 400$ for a GTS 320mb... /endrant

Best Buy ain't bad for impulse buying, and their selection beats most other brick and mortar places. Some of their sales are better than Newegg's regular prices. I know I bought a Seagate IDE drive a while back for about $20 less than the Egg because I caught it on sale.

Best Buy is not a geek's preferred place to shop, but it will do in a pinch.

Pretty much the ONLY thing I will buy from Be$t Buy, is movies or software.... Only because they have LOTS more movies than many places. I only go up there if I don't feel like having the couple day wait time for shipping on online purchases.
