    BestBuy going out of business.... Gradually and then all at once says Forbes.

    By the way, do most people hear watch every blu-ray they buy? How do you find the time to watch every blu-ray you buy? Seems like lot of people here, one i know, buy 4-5 a week maybe more plus all the extras on the set.:)

    BestBuy going out of business.... Gradually and then all at once says Forbes.

    Yep! I miss working in the media dept, pun for cds and dvds and blu-ray, and seeing all the familiar faces every week. Agree with the lack of will or leadership last few years BBY has shown dealing with changes due to economic or technology factors. Big thing for me is that the store i work is a...

    BestBuy going out of business.... Gradually and then all at once says Forbes.

    Guess it won't matter in 5-10 years if all we have is streaming and no physical media, if the future looks to be heading that way. Just hope studios and specialized groups do not stop restoring our classic films and releasing them in all it's glory.

    BestBuy going out of business.... Gradually and then all at once says Forbes.

    Quote:Local taxes used to be earned from the little stores that usually provided polite and knowledgeable service but were bulldozed out of existence by the big box jobs, who presumably thought they were 'too big to fail', no matter what quality of service they provided. The knowledge that they...

    BestBuy going out of business.... Gradually and then all at once says Forbes.

    It is SD_Brian! I do work there as my post would give that out. BBY outsourced all of physical media, except video games, to a company called Anderson. They also do some other retailers like Walmart and they don't wear blue shirts but white. They also have no media knowledge or do much for...

    BestBuy going out of business.... Gradually and then all at once says Forbes.

    Enjoy your big box retail stores sitting empty for years to come. Enjoy your locality losing out on sales tax revenue and cutting back in services like police and fire. Watch the locality turning off highway lights, like they did here in Tulsa with lights and police. Now that doesn't mean you...

    How "realistic" is finding your "Holy Grail?"

    I would say the ABC Movie of the Week Anthology Series, which consisted of made for TV movie that ran from 1969-1975. You can go to Wikipedia for the whole list of titles that you would want to see. Some have been released with their respective series that made it such as Six Million Dollar Man...

    battlestar galactica and space 1999 remastering.

    I for one would like to see the effects get a la Star Trek: Original Series redo. Also like to see come to blu-ray but thinking the effects, because of the processing, would not look any better than dvd set. I could be wrong on this but just going with a gut reaction. Ideas that might have...

    Best Buy Q1 Profits Fall 12% -- Do you still shop at BBY?

    "Island", i would not consider a major new release and we have it at our location but not at the other smaller stores in our market. Even working there i only buy 3-5 titles a year and mostly do mine from renting on Netflix. Best Buy doesn't have the caliber of media qualified personal like they...

    Best Buy Q1 Profits Fall 12% -- Do you still shop at BBY?

    Well! my opinion would be biased since i work there but depends what quality of the store you get and the size. Our store is arguably the largest in the chain in the U.S. at 56k which means we have the largest selection compared to the smaller stores. Also helps that i have a good knowledge of...

    The Ten Commandments Blu-Ray (Two-Disc Special Edition) - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    Best Buy i work at had 6-10 copies of the 59.99 set. This is Tulsa and not a large city so i'm guessing maybe shipments are late or they went fast.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Gangs of New York (Take Two) -- in Blu-ray

    careful! i work at BB and the 12.99 was the older sku and not the newer version, which is still 29.99. also looks like we have none of the 12.99 on order or in stock and will be up to each store whether to honor the newer sku. going to the store could be a hassle depending on your attitude...

    Guest actors who became key characters in a series

    could say Lucy Lawless getting her own show Zena after appearing in telefilm and 2 part episode of Hercules. also throw in Michael Hurst as his sidekick who became a regular in the 2nd season.

    Better Then or Better Now: Make the call on classic favorites

    how about the simpsons! since it has been on so long a lot of the jokes are old and had more meaning then. like when homer was given the denver bronco's and was upset at the end because all they did was lose. before their superbowl winning ways. basically referencing people and the events in the...

    hey rick! might be going back to the east store soon. things are kind of screwed there. so amazon is your best bud for blu-ray? just think of the support you would be giving to tulsa and our state government. actually did see some good prices on amazon and some of the sale items were couple...

    Best Buy to Eliminate DVD Inventory & Anime

    really no issue that we would do something like rid ourselves of dvds since you guys and gals are half the customers that walk in day to day. imagine losing half your foot traffic in every store, and you people are the ones that look at other things to buy. lot of the stuff that was sent back...

    Best Buy to Eliminate DVD Inventory & Anime

    cleaning off the shelves of roughly 5000 dvds average per store that we just did last month helps us for the 4th quarter. also tend not to order much product from jan-end of feb. reason is our fiscal year ends then and need to impress the real customer-the stock holder! well in some eyes anyway...

    Best Buy to Eliminate DVD Inventory & Anime

    have to agree on that! sounds like they don't care if they put out the new releases or even check in their product. in our district of some 15-20 stores we can see who has it or not. pretty much all the stores will have it especially if we advertise it. not good for customer loyalty when we need...

    Best Buy to Eliminate DVD Inventory & Anime

    here in tulsa my store and the owasso store are going to top 20 anime dvds only. also best buy is cutting vendors back which looks like the end of indie product. really don't see criterion stuff because it never sold in the stores and customers usually bitched about the price and didn't do the...

    Best Buy to Eliminate DVD Inventory & Anime

    well! always enjoy the humor i get from the trashing of B.B. i work the media dept and i have seen the decline in dvd variety and also sales. pretty much when it came to anime we had to dust off the cobwebs every week. also seems that if you are under 40 or 30, you couldn't care less if we...
