It shouldn't be surprising.
When the economy is circling the bowl and people are worried about whether or not they'll be working three months from now, over-priced consumer electronics, CDs, video games, and DVDs are probably going to be the first things sacrificed. If I'm concerned about getting laid off, then that new iPod is going to be the first thing to go.

Everytime I go there about 80 percent of the dvd's(mostly tv series) that I am looking too buy aren't in stock and everything else is at least 7 dollars more expensive than the cheapest online price plus add in sales tax and I don't understand why people rush to buy anything there.

All is forgiven, partly because you apologized, but mostly because....
Next to $6.99 for the 2-disc Tropic Thunder and $16.99 for the Christopher Reeve Superman Collection, this is the best thing I've learned from this forum since joining!
If you are familiar with the area, they moved to Lebonan Jct. Just off the I-65exit.

They won't be going the way of CC. Their management is just moving in an aggressive and pro-active manner. I think its awesome, and shows their commitment to staying the premiere electronics dealer in the US. Kudos to them for making these moves.

considering the closing of many of these Circuit City stores, even if the economic conditions continue to be the same, they should benefit from the closings in terms of sales.

So all that remains in my county are very high-end home theater businesses or Sears/Target/Costco types of stores. If I needed a hard drive or monitor in a hurry Best Buy is pretty much the only place left to go.
