JoeyN Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Here is a link to the list to see if yours is one of them. Surprised the one near here isn't closing. it's always a ghost town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony G Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 The one by me isn't closing. It has a Best Buy right across from it and the Best Buy is always much busier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted November 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Yeah the one here is down the block from best buy which is always packed, and thats with CC being attached to a mall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony G Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 (edited) One thing about CC is that the yearly video game clearance rocks. Edited November 4, 2008 by Anthony G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whooter Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 You guys are lucky. Looks like all 4 of the CC stores in the KC area are pulling out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMonkey Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Our "local" one (about 30 miles away) looks like it is going to remain open. I'm surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lutter Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I wish the Circuit City here in San Antonio would close... they're a joke! Their service has turned so bad that I don't even bother going there if they have a sale... I just grab the circular and go to Best Buy. They NEVER have what a want easy to grab and go. Their vertical organization of DVDs is RETARDED. FUCK them for putting their new release video games behind the register where no one can browse them. Damnit. I think they went wrong in two ways: Outdated Floor Plans (see vertically oriented DVDs) and no longer carrying household appliances. I hear that appliances are one of the more lucrative areas of these kind of stores. I tell everyone that I know that the reason K-Mart failed was because of lighting. Brown and yellow stores next to bright white Target and Wal-Mart stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlucci Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Now they are all-in on Chapter 11 bankruptcy. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aXeltuiAOyzs&refer=home Carlos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhfagan Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Well nothing in Pa getting closed thanfully. There's one about 5 minutes from my house, so I don't have to drive an additional 15 minutes through postal inducing traffic to get to the nearest Best Buy.

GreenMonkey Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 For folks with CC gift cards, this promotion might be worth considering...hhgreg is taking CC gift cards, you can use them towards up to 20% of the purchase price of stuff there. http://www.hhgregg.com/dynamic.asp?SID=n&did=1015 I don't have one in my state...but I thought it was an interesting promo. Guess they are trying to suck up the CC customers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonner Cyn Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 According to an article I read on MSN, Circuit City is now going to close up all of their stores. I guess they were looking for a buyer but nothing ever came through, so now they are going to liquidate. Can't say I am all that surprised, though there are like 2 new stores in my area that just opened in the last few months. Might be interesting to see what kind of deals they put together.

Jordan_E Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Maybe I can pick up a couple of games. Funny, this in no way upsets me like when Incredible Universe closed in our local mall. Now THAT was an electronics store! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted January 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Incredible Universe kicked ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle-K Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Incredible Universe kicked ass Yes... Incredible Universe was an awesome place to look at stuff... Then you went across the street to Fry's/Best Buy/Walmart etc. to buy and save 25-30%. :D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlucci Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Yes... Incredible Universe was an awesome place to look at stuff...

Jordan_E Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Oh yeah, tell me that Walmart ever had thousands of LDs for sale...LOL! Back in the day, around here we didn't have Walmart or Best Buy or Fry's. And in a bit of cosmic irony, Sam's Club is now in the space where Incredible Universe used to be. I don't expect many good deals at CC in the beginning, and by the time the real % off kicks in, Joe Schmoe will have grabbed all the decent stuff they could have found at the same price in other stores, but was hypnotized by the word: LIQUIDATION!

exile Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Incredible Universe was a great store to look at. I miss Media Play more than any of them. Talk about a LD collection worth mentioning. I bought ALL of my software from them. I guess in some ways my wallet doesn't miss them.

JoeyN Posted January 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 We didnt even have a bb or cc back then. We didnt have them even when dvd came out. Used to buy laserdiscs and dvds from a small group of stores here called laserland. Miss that place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle-K Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 I still see Incredible Universe Trucks driving around San Diego, and it cracks me up. I think when Fry's moved into the location, I guess they got possession of the trucks and, being Fry's, didn't even bother to repaint them...

Jordan_E Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 "The San Diego Fry's Incredible Universe trucks have not been painted and remain intact." Wiki. That would be funny to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wikipedia makes me laugh sometimes at the unusual info they have... I'll have to try and take a pic next time i see one of their trucks...

GreenMonkey Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Someone should update the title to ALL STORES. There's probably not long left to use giftcards before they don't take them any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
