ClayGuida 04/26/24 12:29:16 PM #22:	Has anyone been in a Best Buy recently? It's a husk of it's former self. 90's and 00's Best Buys were amazing. Had those huge screens you could play games on, could just be in a Best Buy all day as a kid. Now it's basically a Home Depot with TV's. Circuit City would be the exact same. Radioshack always sucked. Honestly, most of these businesses would be dead now anyway, because the market just doesn't need them. Toys R Us I suppose could stick around, maybe merge that and Best Buy or something. --- lolAmerica <cite>ClayGuida posted [p:980105401] in Revive 2: ...

WrkHrdPlayHrdr 04/26/24 1:46:35 PM #27:	As someone who worked at Media Play: You don't want them back. They were expensive. New releases DVD were always the expensive price when you could go to any other store like that and get them for cheaper. I remember when San Andreas came out and they were trying a "turn in 5 old games and get a new release for free." There wasn't any direction given to us about only accepting "good" games so people would come in and trade 5 copies of an old sports game you could get for 5 bucks and walk out with a new release like San Andreas. --- "No. I'm a man so theyll get me a full size McDouble." - DuncanWii https://i.imgur.com/cSxy3Od.png <cite>WrkHrdPlayHrdr posted [p:980106517] in Revive 2: ...
