Frys....the only place I'll willingly drive 100 miles to just to shop around at. Compared to the BB's, CrapUSA, CC's and other stores here Frys just blows them ALL out of the water

I like Best Buy because it not only has computer stuff, it has MUSIC & MOVIES!!! Yay! I can't get enough of CDs for $10 when they come out, rather than 14.99 later. It's win win!

Frys gets my vote, since they carry real geek stuff, the type of stuff that radio shack used to carry back before they became a crappy cell phone store.

i think i like fry's the most.. but sometimes i just need or want some help.. and fry's may as well not hire employees when it comes to sales staff.. they suck something wicked.. best buy has a lot.. and their customer service is excellent.. and i occassionally see hottie chicks working there.. can't go wrong with that

Having experience with working at most the stores.... BB has mid sized selection, pretty bad customer service, average prices. Fry's has huge selection, horrid customer service, and good prices for tech stuff, average prices on TVs etc. CC has the smaller selection, tho it's growing, the best customer service out of the 4, pricing is slightly better then BB, except for TVs etc... they beat Fry's and BB for that. And CompUSSR... who knows how their still around.

Agreed. I only do business with Newegg now. Except for the occasional dirt cheap items at Fry's crazy sales...
