i miss this nigga so much
Was there anything Circuit City had to set them apart from "Best Buy, but Red"?
>>109101923>>109101915i am noticing
>>109101923he also wasnt radioshack
this is what they took from us
>>109102086frys electronics was dogshit for at least 10 years before they closedmy brother bought a motherboard there which was DOA, took it back to exchange for another one which was also DOA, put a marker dot on the bottom and when he exchanged it again, the marker dot confirmed they were just handing back the same shit to make him the next guy's problem
>>109101923Style. You walk into Circuit City it felt like you were walking into the future or at least the 2000's idea of the future. Best Buy felt like you're walking into a bootleg K-mart.
>>109102086sorry for my it was sam goodys and fye
>>109102134use case for walking into anywhere?
>>109103978this nigga done lost his sovl

>>109101854Fuck CircuitShitty, CompUSA was the bee's knees... That was a *real* computer store.
>>109104539Microcenter was always numba wan. Still is.
>>109102086I liked Fry's but where I live they built it in a shitty part of town, I only went if I really needed something.
Bought my first video camera there. Canon HV20. At the time didn't quite grasp why it was $700 compared to others going for I think $200. But Sears was sold out of the latter, and I didn't want to be bound by the school's media center limitations.
>>109102086hey i worked at that one in like 2010
>>109101854i miss working there >code pink on the headset we were all forced to wear >every dude employees head in the building turns towards the entrance >some hot chick just walked in>wait to see what department she went to>she’s looking for an ipod hell yeah that’s me>mack on her and sell the ipod with the protection plan of course >go to the side of the building with my boss and smoke a fat blunt>go back inside and fuck around >get paid $16 an hour in 2007 for all thiswhat a great job and time that was
>>109105334I haven't heard the term "mack on" in fucking ages lol
CompUSAI wanted to work here over the summer when I was 16.They told me they don’t hire under 18.By the time I turned 18 they were shut down.It’s a harbor freight tools now.I still go inside the HFT and I’m instantly back in 2001
>>109105826>backwards pantswiggedy wiggedy wack
Another day, another post where you fucking yanks wank each other off and tell the whole world that you’ve lost more than we ever had to begin with.
>>109105848I just figured out why Mack in Daria hates being called Mac Daddy
>>109105881Listen, beans on toast, just because we have the resources where we don't have to live in a narrow row house with no garage and a 1.2L "hot hatch" at the kerb doesn't mean you have to be so angry. The rozzers will nick you for antisocial behaviour and drag you down to the Old Bailey, you know. And then when you get out your council flat will be given over to an underprivileged migrant grooming gang.
>>109102086Is that the Sacto one? I used to go there.>>109105035Shit, if that IS the Sac one then we probably met there at some point, I lived in the area 2009-2013 and went all the time.
>>109105334>Circuit City>2007 Fuck, this doesn't match my internal timeline at all. I wonder if my local closed way earlier than the rest, I feel like it was like 2001. The building was still there and still had the red entrance area (this style >>109102134) at least as recently as 3-4 years ago. Maybe I just stopped going to CC after Fry's opened up near me and was closer.
>>109107705Yeah it was mach later, at least here in the States. I remember buying a PSP 2k model from my local Circuit City back in 2006 or 2007. You could be thinking of Radio Shack, that place disappeared like a ghost. It was also where I got my first PC a few years prior.
>>109107705HH Gregg?
>>109107705I bought my 250GB Xbox 360 Slim at a circuit city in Black Friday. I wandered into the store at around 2PM and they still had half a pallet of them. It was bundled with Halo Reach and two controllers if that gives the date. My white model had red ringed just a few weeks prior. I was in the market.
>>109107691not sure, i think it was the Friars Road location which was originally built as Incredible Universe prior to their collapse.
>>109104065I laughed at the moment you started treating circuit city as a dead man
Ours is an indoor playspace now. Was a Bed Bath & Beyond through the 2010s.
>>109101854100%>>109101923cheaper better deals and more niche stuff>>109102086fry's was so much better if I had one near me I would have always went. When one was near me it only lasted like a year or two. loved that place.
>>109107775I don't get that store I went in once its just a shitty version of best buy. why even bother.
>>109102086The death of Fry's was really strange. One day, they just sort of quit stocking the shelves and let the stores die.At least Microcenter is still around and based.
old ass nigga kek
>>109105334sounds like the show chuck kek
>>109105881its fun. join us
>>109101854I had a dream about this the other day. It was awful.
>>109107958They fucked the entire employee incentive structure and took out a bunch of loans they never paid back
