Bloomberg: Circuit City to Go Out of Business After 60 Years

[Cochese]

These ****ers have my original 360. I stupidly bought there extended warranty, I sent them my box, and they demanded my harddrive too (with countless hours of saved games) *** them. I gotta get that back ASAP.

They changed the Xbox warranty agreement too, originally they would send you a gift card for the purchase price(when I got my warranty), now they send you a refurb. Trashy business practices. Good Riddence.

Just so you know how these liquidations work....the liquidators take possession of the store, mark everything UP to MSRP, and then start discounting off of that. Many times the initial discounts are STILL HIGHER than what the store was selling it for pre-liquidation. The real deals don't start being had until 2-3 weeks into liquidation, and by that time nearly everything good is gone having been bought by morons that don't know any better. You might luck out and find a nice deal on something, but things like Game consoles, nice HDTVs, nice HT equipment, etc. will be long gone, having been bought by idiots during the 10% off days or packed up and sold to other retailers by the liquidators.

True that. I made off like a bandit when CompUsa closed, I went real close to the final date, got a few sweet 360 games for less than 10$, and an awesome ipod case (which was originally 35$) for less than 10.
