The same thing happened to Circuit City, except I don't believe they have any more retail stores. Good thing Tiger Direct/Systemax makes some pretty good calls. It really makes me wonder why the god awful overpriced Best Buy stores are doing so well.

I use to work at CompUSA during the time that we closed down. And damn it Alfred!!! you reminded me of the time I looted the place with my employee discount about two weeks before the announcement. I remember getting that same firewire cable for around $2.38ish. I laugh to this day that these stores made almost no money on hardware(only TVs), but made boat loads on the accessories like that cable which mostly no one purchased. And with their legendary crap service how could they not fail?
