Exact same thing that happened here. They opened a new store, and in less than 2 weeks, it closed. There's planning for ya. :rolleyes:

They opened a new Circuit City in Deptford, NJ near NJ 42. It opened less than 2 months ago.

Circuit City closest to me is the one in Toledo,OH
Wish I had a WeatherSTAR 4000. Brings back memories.

Got a ton of deals at CC today. Guy rang it all up at 30% instead of 10%.  :thrilled:

What will happen to Firedog? Firedog offers PC services from CC stores.

The fate of firedog hasn't been determined yet... meaning they haven't found a buyer for it yet.
I mean that in the way I said it because some company, I forget which, bought the TechPro services part of CompUSA and the other main part of CompUSA went to Tiger Direct... in a sense, someone will buy the firedog services (hopefully)

I was supposed to join the TechPro technical services team at my CompUSA store in Mount Laurel after my 3 month probation period, but alas, a press release came out that they were going out of business :(

Well, yesterday the remaining stores have shut down for good. Goodbye, Circuit City.

Coincidentally, it was also the last day for Oscar Huber, a local furniture store chain.

Best Buy is better than say Walmart in terms of laptops. Make sure you invest in a replacement plan! I highly recommend it. I got the replacement plan on my laptop right before the store (CompUSA) started going out of business, so I was lucky as they discontinued replacement plan sales 1/1/2008 (i.e. they disabled the SKU's in the system). My laptop has started to show problems, but I have one coming hopefully in April, so I don't have to give Assurant a call about it. Do NOT get your laptop from places like Office Max, Office Depot, Target, etc, etc, etc. If you break it, you're SOL and will have to get another one.

Oh nooooooo no no. I will get one from Best Buy, fo' sure!, And maybe I'll buy a replacement plan along with it. Thanx for the quick advice though! :).

The comp my parents got me from Circuit City still acts and looks new. Even though I've been using it so much  :noexpression:

Or be smart, and save some green, by buying it over the internet.

Speaking of Office Depot, the one up in Bensalem is also closing after only three or so years of being open. I never saw anyone come in there. I think they are replacing it with some Japanese restaurant.

The ONLY reason I would not want to see Circuit City dissappear is that it means a lot of jobs vanishing into thin air  :sos:
But other than that, let them go out of business. They have outright terrible customer service, and the prices are generally too high. I went to the only Circuit City in the area out on the west side of Lansing for black Friday, to snatch a good deal on a TV tuner. When I got there, 30 minutes before it opened, not at all to my dismay, the line snaked around a corner of the store and halfway down that wall to the unloading dock. When I walked around the line to get to the back, 2 security guards followed me.  :censored: Their security is a joke.  :whateva:
