I've also heard that they are a nightmare for customer service. That is, don't ever try to return a high-ticket item. (WABC is NYC used to have a consumer watchdog show, which I liked a little more than Dave Ramses, probably because the info was a little more useful. Anyway, B.B. was constantly coming up as a topic of conversation.)
Agreed. I got to Best Buy this at 3:30 this year. I was like #700 in line and didn't get what I want but still got several DVDs for $2.99 and a 17" LCD Flat Panel for $74.99. Almost everyone was very friendly and cheerful. The 90 minutes till opening went by VERY quickly and 30 minutes to check out did as well. I didn't see any pushing or shoving. I even saw (myself included) passing out coupons and discounts to help fellow shoppers out!
newegg.com has most of the stuff BB carries that I want, except its way cheaper and the customer service is second to none from my experience.
Glad to hear you got some bargains! We have bought some stuff on line and only need to get a few things to be finished.
