    Because they are a truly established US company who will transform UK technology spending giving the competition something to seriously consider when it come to pricing. It's good news for the UK electronic consumer.

    yeah, I would imagine these items will only be this price for opening.

    I went to Best Buy in Canada and Florida - loved it. They also sell DVDs and Video Games - dont' know if that will be the case here. (EDIT - just checked the site and see that they do yippe)

    Wonder how long it will be before they open up one in Scotland...

    Never?

    It's wonderfully over-hyped. Their brochure even shows money off deals. "£50 off". £50 off what? They haven't traded yet!

    It's most probably "£50 off" the recommended retail price

    One for anybody in the South East (in driving distance of Lakeside anyway) - new store from company called Best Buy opens tomorrow with some pretty strong offers such as Wii Black for £99, Sony DSLR for £199 and amazingly a Toshiba 32" HDTV for £179!? :eek:

    Check them all out here: http://www.bestbuy.co.uk/page/custom.aspx?PageName=Thurrockdeals

    They have Avatar on Blu-ray for £9.99 too - might check it out tomorrow or Saturday.
