Best Buy issues cease and desist over Newegg ad, logo

Usually I try to leave more thought provoking comments... but in this case.

Screw Best Buy.

Best Buy will probably be toast in the next few years, as far as I can tell.

Usually *I* try to leave a more thought provoking comment but alas the dumb in the air around best buy is self explanatory and I'd merely be insulting reader intelligence if I explain something so obvious. So...

Screw Best Buy.

I think the commercial are being nice to Best Buy workers at least they admit they don't know.

All of the BB's I've ever been in, when I ask a question or listen in when a friend ask a question they normally out and out lie to get people to buy something that is overpriced and lower quality.

Best Buy. Now 10% More Slovenly Than Our Competition!

If they didn't have such crappy customer service and "technicians" to begin with, they wouldn't be made fun of. Instead of whining about it like a little girl, I'd see it as a professional challenge to get their collective act together.

But that's the difference between me and Best Buy.

Best Buy feeds off the native. Without that consumer base, Best Buy would have no business model.

Can I join the mob?

Screw Best Buy

I'd like to add that the geek squad is an absolute joke... a bad one at that.

I thought that BB was just Amazon's local showroom...

I wonder if Best buy feels they can strong arm new egg because correct me if I am wrong this is done all the time with commercials. Most commercials blatantly call out their competitors. And it is not like they are lying. They should have just walked into a Best Buy and actually asked an associate and they would have gotten the same answer.

Plus walmart employees wear blue shirts too so how do you know it is not against wally world Mr Best buy attorney man.

I just bought a 21.5 inch widescreen Full HD, LED- Backlit, LCD monitor from Newegg for $105. I buy almost all my electronics now from Newegg. They have unbeatable prices with a wide variety of choices, BestBuy can go kiss some *** and stop complaining that a smaller company such as Newegg is gonna surpass BestBuy in the near future.

Coincidentally, here's a confessional from a Geek Squad "technician" I just found:

Honestly I rather they say at the end, "Take it from a Nerd" since Best Buy ruinned the term Geek for me. I still like Think geek though

But I do hate negative ads and I REALLY hate Best Buy so I'll let this one slide.

Nice find Tom although none of that surprised me which is sad really.

Best Buy is pretty good. Go in the store, see the products you can get on NewEgg in reality. Then compare the prices in your smart phone. If NewEgg is more (including shipping), buy it right there in the Best Buy store. If Best Buy is more, see if you can buy the display model for 15% off. If it's still not cheaper than NewEgg then just go with NewEgg.

This is how I got my 22" monitor for a price even NewEgg couldn't beat. I wanted an ASUS 22" monitor from NewEgg so I went to Best Buy after I was buying groceries just to check if they had it there. They did in fact have the same monitor, but they were out of stock besides the display model. They also lost the display model's VGA cable and power cable, and I already had DVI/HDMI cables and a power cable, so that was another 10% off. So I got a total of 25% off my 22" monitor because I went to Best Buy just to check out if they had the same one from NewEgg.

Don't hate on Best Buy, they're a solid store.

I'm sure glad there's a Micro Center in my neck of the woods. They have better prices than both and offer competitively priced warranty/replacement plans. I used to swear by the egg, but abandoned them when they stopped offering a 1 yr RMA on most items. I actually discovered Tiger Direct before newegg and would say they are a decent e-tailer as well.

from what i've heard best buy sells common things like HDMI cables for ridiculous prices and the thing most people are complaining about is how their employees have no idea what they're talking about.

FYI: shopping online is almost always cheaper. i don't see best buy selling SSDs for $1/GB, A 21.5" 1920x1080 ips monitor for $150, or a 700W modular PS + cd drive for $55 regularly.

I would like to suggest a fact-finding mission: take your cell phone cameras to Best Buy and take pictures of all the employees. Upload to photobucket or similar, and link them here.

My hypothesis: slovenliness among Best Buy employees will be found to be the norm rather than the exception.

Buck Fest Fuy.

I actually find the best buy employees to be quite well kept in the two locations that are in my city. They don't tend to know anything but they are at least well groomed.

Personally I frequent my local best buys for deals on movies, games and cd's. I do warn people about their extended warranties and geek squad (they overcharge on both).
