Best Buy Sucks

For the record, I’d like to state that Best Buy officially sucks. I don’t mean in merely a polite soda-straw slurping suck, I mean in a massive vortex-of-doom cosmic sense of sucking. Think about how bad Real Networks sucks, then multiply that suckage by a million.

Best Buy’s scam is that they supposedly charge a little less than their competitors. Suppose you purchase something for $200. When you get to the register, they push this ”service plan” of an extra $40. This obviously jacks the price up far more than their competitors’ prices. Now, if you don’t purchase their service plan, and your purchase breaks after 1 month, tough. Their stupidly stringent policy denies you any refund, exchange, or repair. You will not get your money back, or be able to return the broken device.

I hate Wal-Mart as much as the next guy, but in this case, I’d much rather pay an extra few bucks and be guaranteed that I could return a defective product.
