Getting a CompUSA in my area.

[cpals]

Just read a sign today saying that CompUSA was going to be in my area in October. So are they any better than say Office Depot, Office Max, Best Buy, or Staples? Just hoping to have some better computer deals to shop around for.

 

Usually worse than all four you mentioned.

compusa is about just as bad as bestbuy, they have a terrible returns policy (store credit ugh).

better than all you listed.

Bestbuy is the bottom of the heap.

I just wish we would get a Fry's.

Bah! Stick to newegg.com

Burn it down and hope for a Walmart

Ah... I think I mistook Frys for CompUSA. Fry's always has the mobo/cpu combo deals, right? I wish we were getting a Frys then, not CompUSA.

I have one not far away and haven't been there since 1996.

Am I missing something?

More stores the better.

Hot deals

In L.A., CompUSA is essentially worthless, except for any specials they have. The OD, OM and BB all typically have more and better special items, and the Office pair often have decent coupon and rebate deals.

Fry's is also good for their specials, but the place is often a zoo, and returns can be a real hassle. Like CompUSA, much of the rest of their computer stuff is overpriced.

I don't get why people get excited about yet another giant retail chain coming to take up space near their houses.

CompUSA is the most worthless store ever. Only clueless schmucks (ie, your average American) buy their crap from there.

Agreed. The only advantage to me is that they're fairly near where I live. However, I'll usually go to Best Buy or Frys, or Central Computer.

Sorry to hear about that, Maybe one day they will build a good electronics store in your area.
