I dont know if anyone has heard yet or if anyone has a circuit city in their town. But the annouced yesterday that they are going out of business. Its something like 400+ stores. It is super weird to see allot of these major market stores go under!! thoughts??

this sucks, because I like going to Circuit City a lot better than going to Best Buy. Best Buy always seems crowded and the lines are long.

the sale sucks. tvs are only ten percent and cds are only twenty. people go shopping crazy when they hear liquidation, but seriously black friday was way cheaper. i would say hold off another month or two since everything has to be gone by MARCH. yea 2 months so dont rush out the store i went to sucked.

Circuit City is expensive as hell.  No surprise there.

thats the trick, people can be stupid and just think, HEY! closing sale! must be great prices, and people will jump on expensive stuff. problem is that by the time there are sick sales, almost everything is gone :/
