According to an attorney for the company, Circuit City sales have fallen 50 percent since the electronics chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy over a month ago.

Coming from "the Ol Compusa"I can tell you that I'm sorry to read this because of ONLY the fact that this country needs every possible business to stay afloat.On a personal note,I can't stand Circuit City because of too many reasons to name but people needs jobs so I have to put my feelings aside.

When I bought my Canon DSLR from them about 6 months ago, they had the better price hands down. Not only were they cheaper on the camera but they threw in tons of free stuff too. It was a better deal than I could find anywhere online and they beat out Best Buy. This really sucks not only for the jobs that might be lost but for the lack of competition will surely drive Best Buy's prices up too. Plus they've been around for as long as I can remember.

Idiots! I have 2 Circuit City's within 15 min of me 1 is only a few years old! You drive buy & see a Huge SALE, STORE CLOSING! sign & think what? I know i think well i may spend $20-30 there on a cheap xbox controller & when i mean cheap i mean $25 as apposed to the norm $50! But no way am i going to pay $1000 for a computer that if dies in 2 weeks i have no recourse! To the general public it looks like all the stores near me are closing & going out of business FOREVER! Just like CompUSA did a few years back! I know my local compusa closed but i never payed attention to what happened to the company as a whole!

In my opinion the stand alone store has a much rougher time getting customers compared to one's attached to malls. Best Buy, their only real competition is mostly part of malls and thus flourishes compared to Circuit City. People like convenience and stopping at multiple locations just isn't justified for most anymore. I like buying online more than either store, but I do not like the idea that many more people are losing jobs. This is just another domino effect in our crumbling economy.

Hands dosn CC has better prices then BB. If you want to argue go online & compare. I think BB has an edge mearly cause the mall issue, where CC is stand alone. Also I beleive most or just some people are angry how CC laid off people in the past and how they did them wrong.
The days of company loyalty are gone . Look at ford, GM, those old dasys when people where proud to work for certain companies are a fading if not GONE fad. With the internet, amazon its now a global competition for stand alones. If CC is to servive they would need to pool thier resources and join with another corp, maybe starbucks & barnes n noble?
Comp USA failed cause their prices were rediculous.

Die! Die! Die!
The wackos screwed me when i bought my first PC with the warranty from CC. It does not cover the software or help, and when my HP PC was just over a year old, I called HP and they told me that my 1 year service warranty expired and i told them I bought a 4 year warranty through CC. They told me to call CC. I did. CC told me they do not offer support for computers. Only if a part broke.
Die CC. Die!!
