Review from Elvis A.
I kind of prefer this Best Buy location over others as its very accessible. Selection is pretty much the same as other stores.
Staff can be hit and miss some visit you have to make an effort to find someone to help you.
Being a box store has its caveats and BB is no different there are good deals to be had if you plan ahead. Policies are followed to the hilt which can be a good thing.
If you get extended warranty (I don't of most items except laptops) it can give you a sense of comfort that this store isn't going anywhere and will stand behind the stuff. -

A guy walks in in dark sunglasses and told the staff that he could not find the video section. The staff kept pointing at it. After taking off his Prada (not sure if it's genuine), he found it... like light at the end of the tunnel.
Crowd here is mixed. From Bay Street to Ryerson students. The goods are adequate but I am not a fan of the layout. I have seen nicer staff.
BUT they do not follow you around like Future Shop. You can browse products without being spied. In short, they do not see you as a dollar sign. -

Being the closest store to Toronto's downtown core area, this store located next to the Eaton Centre is spread across one floor. With a good selection of televisions, media players, and accessories, the store satisfies my technology-related needs. The store offers both a loyalty program (Rewards Zone) as well as electronics recycling (bring in your old televisions, monitors, desktops for proper recycling at no additional charge). Smaller than most Best Buy stores I've visited in the U.S., this location has a small music section but a decent DVD/Blu-Ray selection of titles. If you can't find what you're looking for here, try the Future Shop down the street at Yonge and Dundas Streets (both store chains are owned by the same parent company) or The Source inside the Eaton Centre.

I go to best Buy because I believe that it is the best of the worst. I never walk in with a blank slate to randomly find a staff member to tell me all about the TV or Computer or whatever I am looking for. Because of that I always find that I am more knowledgeable than the staff and it annoys me that they don't know things about the products they are selling. I always do my research before going to buy something and when I'm ready to make that purchase I'll go to the store. Sometimes I may ask someone in the department about what I am about to buy but I always regret it. They try to sound informed but they rarely are.
Outside of that, Best Buy is great for the regular other purchases of movies and video games. -

Here's why I like Best Buy.
1.) Their not-on-commission staff doesn't follow me around asking me pointless questions.
2.) Their 30 day no-questions-asked return policy gives you a sense of security on large purchases. I've bought and returned many things because I didn't like them or decided said item is a waste of money.
3.) While I don't always buy the extended warranty, the last time my camera fell apart it was a life saver. Since my model was out of stock, they gave me full store credit for the price of my camera with no fuss. Again, no questions asked.
Also, I'm a sucker for yellow and blue.
Obligatory Title Pun: BEST for BUYing 'tronics.
Menu Readability: What is this? A restaurant?
Need to Mention: They price match Futureshop and the two stores have similar stock. ALWAYS check there before buying something. Just go to wherever's more expensive to save 10%.
What this place teaches me about myself: I guess I don't like being asked questions.Listed in: Chained Melody, Business Supplies

Big Box stores are good for a couple of things I suppose. You can usually find the thing you need easily, there's tons of support staff, and the prices are reasonable. I like this particular Best Buy for a few reasons.
Firstly the location is fantastic. Right downtown off the subway and just outside the Eaton Centre, it's pretty darn easy to get to. When you find yourself needing a memory card, or work done on a laptop, it's nice not having to drive to Suburbia and deal with a generic firm on their terms.
Secondly, the staff are decently knowledgeable. The Geek Squad service department has always been prompt and helpful and have helped me out of a jam or two. The floor staff also know where things are. You'd think that wouldn't be a tall order, but I've been to a few other big-box stores and have thought the staff knew what they were doing until I realized that the universal remote they were trying to sell me was in fact a garage door opener.
Lastly, the best thing about this place, as with all other Best Buys, the staff are not on commission. There's nothing worse than just wanting to browse and go through the racks of a store unmolested and seeing the sales staff circle you like sharks after a good chumming. Relax, browse, and go stare at the big screen TVs for an hour. -

Huge Best Buy right next to the Eaton Centre Mall. It is set up like the Best Buys in the states. All the usual suspects: cds,dvds,washers,dryers,computers,satellite radio,ipods etc
Nice location, great staff and the usual Best Buy experience, just north of the border. -

Probably the coolest best buy by location, it's right under Ryerson university. I mean, who says my school is on top of best buy and next to the largest mall in downtown Toronto.
