Call me a mindless slave to the corporate giants if you want, but I love Best Buy.
I tend to buy a lot of DVDs and Blu-Rays, and Best Buy normally has the best prices, if not the selection that I'd like (I have some odd tastes in movies). iPod accessories, iPhone accessories, video games - you name it, and I can find it at Best Buy.
I also immensely appreciate the fact that the staff at Best Buy do NOT work on commission. Every interaction I've had with the staff gave me the impression that they truly were interested in helping me, and not trying to get me to spend more just to benefit themselves. -

I was on the hunt for printer ink and it wasn't going so well. Future Shop was a bust, with a sales guy telling me, "Um, well this is where all the printer ink is, so if we have it, it will be in this section." Oh, OK. Wow. Helpful. (That bit was sarcasm.)
Best Buy didn't fare much better in terms of staff support, but they did have a very, *very* handy guide to printers and corresponding ink. I knew my printer is a Canon, so I just had to flip through the booklet until I found the picture of my printer, then it listed all of the compatible inks. Genius! I found what I was looking for right away, even without assistance. Boom. Printer ink master.Listed in: South Side, Chains, Grown-Up Chores, Movie Night, Bad Customer Service

Best Buy is a great place to shop for anything electronic, computer, phone or television related! Their website is really awesome too because you can shop around and even find out if a store near you has what you're looking for in stock.
The greatest thing about this place is that they don't work off commission and they make it really clear. The staff are very helpful, but they really do just want you to get the best product for you, even if it means spending less. I hate being sold to, so I would likely shop here before going to Future Shop.
They claim that nobody beats their prices, but I have on occasion found cheaper prices at Wal-Mart. -

I really like Best Buy. And, more often than not, they really do have the best buys.
This is where I go to buy all of my electronics. They also have great electronics' accessories. I buy my iPod accessories here and even my camera accessories. I even bought my camera here!
The few things I don't buy at Best Buy are movies and music. I usually buy previously viewed movies at Blockbuster and I get my music from iTunes.
I've had some computer questions in the past and used the resources of the Geek Squad. They've been pretty good.
Sometimes I have trouble finding a staff member to help me find what I'm looking for and when I do, they often aren't sure of what to tell me. I think that the staff here are trained in one section and that's it because no one seems to know much beyond their own area. On a busy day, that can get frustrating.
I like Best Buy though. I'm a regular customer! -

Well because it is currently a crazy time of year due to the fact that there are about eight days until Christmas I usually try to avoid the big electron stores; one of them is Best Buy. But I was pretty desperate to find an iTunes give card I decided to bite the built. Form the first moment I walked thought the sliding glass doors I felt my anxiety level shoot though the roof. I decided to flag someone down, find my gift card and then get out. The sweet looking young man, who could probably sense my internal turmoil, pointed me in the right direction. After dodging groups of people whom suddenly stop in the aisles (I hate that!) and avoiding getting hit by shopping carts I found my iTunes gift card in the desired demonization. I was so happy that I actually found one, many of the other stores I had been were totally sold out. I was so close to raising my prize in the air and jump around in triumph. As I was one my way to the cash registers cheap cameras starting at $99 stopped me! After fighting an internal battle with my hand to put the camera back (it was either the camera or food for the month) and just walk away. But walking meant running into the DVD department. Movies are great prices! Again, I found myself just trying to say no! After escaping the great deals on movies I ran into a fantastic price on a Wii system for $119. Somebody was against me today because I just kept finding even better things to buy. I found myself suddenly wishing I had someone to hear my Christmas wish list so that they could pick up a little somethin' somethin' for me. Well, here's hoping that some of those prices stick around throughout the year. I am defiantly not going to Best Buy on Boxing Day; that would be suicide.
The staff was really relaxed, which was very surprising because the store was like a mad house. The guy in the DVD department was so awesome. He asked me if I needed help finding anything and when I told him that I did not he notified me where he would be just incase I did need anything. So sweet of him! The guy at the till was also pretty great. He told me about this point plan they had and best of all the point card was free, so you bet I picked up one!
