I’ve noticed Best Buy prices have come down quite a bit this year..at least on some items.

They can survive, and even thrive, if they make the adjustments to compete.

This is because they’re desperate for customers after ruining Christmas 2011 for many, many people.

This is on top of their ongoing practice of faking their website on their in-store kiosks so they don’t have to match the actual online prices of others, a practice they have had for most of the past decade: http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-lazarus23dec23-column.html

Plenty more documented reasons Best Buy sucks and needs to either shape up or go away. Many people call them Worst Buy.
