Best Buy

I used to like Best Buy better, but lately i have been favoring Circuit City. Their employees seem to be a little better.

Circuit City at least here in Springfield. Here you can go in find what you want and not have to fight you way through and army of other people and plus they have people around when you need them. The BB here, thanks to the 1000's of people in the store, I believe they schedules 1 sales person per 150 people.

Circuit City has higher end electronics (tv's, stereo receivers, speakers, etc..)

Best Buy usually has the better deals when it comes to DVD's, computer software, video games, etc.

Circuit City employees are generally less pushy, and don't push the "service plan" as much as Best Buy employees do.

We had both, but Best Buy won the war, and drove CC out of business.

Not a big fan of either but I think Best Buy wins this by a lot. Circuit City used to be very impressive but has gone way down hill IMO.

Some of the newer Circuit City stores are pretty good, but yea your right, the older ones are pretty ghetto.

CC just moved a mile from its old location to a brand new, bigger store right across the street from our BB. The war has begun.

Best Buy.

The service in CC is terrible and every time I walk into one of them I feel like I am at a funeral. Just a bad vibe in CC where as Best Buy seems upbeat and friendly for the most part.

I go to Nebraska Furniture Mart for almost all of my electronics though. The salesmen there are more likely to cut deals.

Bestbuy has a better selection on just about everything and seems to have better sales. Overall I think its a good deal better than CC.

About the only positive i can say about CC is they carry nicer TV's and far better home theater / stereo stuff than best buy.

I like frys better than either of them but they dont have a store in my city.

True, Overall they sell higher end equipment. I bought my Onkyo amp at CC. I dont think Best Buy sells Onyko?

Yeah definitly not. As far as i know the best componets they sell are Yamaha's lower/mid level stuff.

Umm, doesn't Best Buy own Circuit City?

I'm a Best Buy guy. Although I can't compare them very well since Des Moines doesn't have a Circuit City. I haven't been in a CC in over 2 years.
