Bestbuy in uk

[Motopsychojdn]

I was kind of excited/happy to hear that bestbuy was coming to the uk,
and recently found out a store is planned in Nottingham, which is close enough for me to consider using,
until I checked out their prices this afternoon,
I bought my Sapphire 5770 in January 2010, £130 ish, £137 maybe?,
and since then have seen the price drop to on average below £100, http://www.scan.co.uk/products/1gb-sapphire-hd-5770-amd-gddr5-pci-e-graphics-card

Best buys component section has a very limited graphics card selection to begin with, http://www.bestbuy.co.uk/category/computing/pc-components/graphics-cards.aspx

but then I noticed the 5770 price...
http://www.bestbuy.co.uk/product/1000124417/sapphire-hd5770-1gb-ddr5-graphics-card.aspx

Seriously, BESTbuy? not in my book,
the 460Gtx has a smaller margin, only £20 between the two sites (versus the highest priced 460Gtx on scan)

I'm hoping to see something better coming from them in the future or I wont be contributing to the uk portion of the market for them

BestBuy in the US does not come close in prices to online retailers like Newegg, Tigerdirect and so on.

Yeah this does not guarantee good prices at all. Stick with Ebuyer, Scan or Overclockers!

Am doing hehe,
just would've been nice to have had a decent source close by for emergency purposes,
I also use Pixmania.co.uk too, french-based company with an english warehouse so delivery's have always been quick enough

I guess I just got over-excited at the prospect of a well-stocked competitive store

Best Buy sucks and they are on the verge of bankruptcy.
