iPhone 3G Coming to Best Buy; Umm…
Well, the Associated Press has set the internet buzzing with news that Apple has struck a deal with Best Buy to offer the iPhone 3G in its nationwide retail stores. But wait a minute… That story sounds familiar. Where oh where might we have heard about this before almost two months ago? Oh well, we’ll let you know if we happen to remember. In the meantime, would-be iPhone 3G owners will have a third option when it comes to scoring a shiny new iPhone 3G. Beginning September 7, each and every one of Best Buy’s 986 retail locations across the country will begin selling the new iPhone and activating the handset on-site. No, you still won’t be able to snag one without a contract but that should be an option later this year if you’re willing to pay a $300 premium. So if you were having trouble deciding whether to swing by your local Best Buy or the Circuit City directly across the highway, your decision might be a tiny bit easier come September. Look for this internet buzz to happen all over again soon when Radio Shack makes a similar announcement – assuming it didn’t drop the ball during negotiations.
It’s not hard to return something to Best Buy at all. Just have your receipt, all of the materials that came with the purchase, and don’t expect them to return items that you obviously broke without buying the PSP on it. It’s not rocket science folks.
To those slamming best buy and hurling insults:
What a cranky and out of touch group in this thread.
As someone noted, circuit city’s stock is at an all time low and is desparate for a corp merger lest they go bankrupt.
Why? According to an article in the Wall Street Journal ON exactly these two companies, people overwhelmingly prefer Best Buy, and they noted how full of Customer’s most BB stores are and how empty CC is. The WSJ concluded the outlook is bleak for CC B/C CUSTOMERS PREFER IT BY A WIDE MARGIN. (Where the hell do you all live??). Unless acquired by another retailer, expect bankruptcy–so hurry to enjoy that service and value you so prefer. This iPhone deal will likely put the final nail in the coffin, now or at least by end of the xmas season.
How depressingly negative all the moronic sniping and bitching is here, especially given how uninformed and dead wrong many of the name-callers are.
This web 2.0 stuff is really working out. I have found out not to waste any more time reading cowards call each other “anus” and dirty words (”Mommie, I can talk naughty!”).
Unfortunately, the handful of people trying to be helpful have to skip through your potty-talk postings.
But hey, on the bright side, it keeps the ignorant, would-be bullies and other low-functioning people busy until the time comes to fill one of the ever growing unskilled jobs in retail and food service (after all, the prisons are overly full).
So go ahead and spend as much time as you can writing the same PAINFUL insults to/about me, really show people how little valued you are by the hours spent “throwing your weight around” insulting unknown people all over the web, I imagine!
If you keep it up, maybe some day you can be a low-paid circuit city sales person, and call people “anus” in person.
Naw, CC won’t be around by then and the cowards who get off on instant schoolyard flaming on these boards would never have the balls to do that in person. So maybe not–but do stay in your bedroom responding thoroughly to this b/c the adults here are REALLY impressed. Or at least glad that failed bullies, the uninformed, the flatulent, as well as socially awkward kids and low functioning adults aren’t crowding iPhones at nearby Best Buy or Apple stores. Better yet, they have an outlet to feel good about themselves–right in the home! And we don’t even have to see them!
So go for it, REALLY put me in my place! (I won’t be back to read any further but I care! Believe in yourself and you can win this pissing contest) But take your time — Be specific and really try to show how witty and commanding you can be. And keep at it–you’ll want to practice a lot, I hope.
