They just announced on the news tonight that CompUSA is shutting down for good after Christmas. Hopefully this means a fire sale on stuff.

They shut down all their stores up here this past summer.

They had someting like 40-60 percent off of everything when they did.

They shut down their stores up here 12-18 months ago.... Kinda figured when they did that, they would not be long for this business world.

the problem is that the nerds that would be buying stuff there shop online

the non-nerds go to Best Buy or Buy More

Are you the dude around here with the tiny little ipod?

I just replaced my 5g with a 80gig 6g yesterday.
I love it. I'm convinced the sound quality has improved although supposedly that isn't true. The UI is MUCH faster as is the speed of switching songs. They must have put more RAM or something in there (I think they have like 32mb's or something like that)

Anywhoo...yeah...

DOnt want to bust yer bubble, but I went to the ones down here when they were closing down, and they did not discount their IPODS much. They knocked off like 10%. :rolleyes:

Back when they shut down most of their stores last year, they reduced prices to SLIGHTLY higher than Frys.

Out.

Most Apple and HP products will have very small discounts, they control the pricing pretty heavily.
