Which is strange and i still don't understand it.
Seems the total opposite for over here. In UK we will buy our stuff online as we know it is cheaper then going to the stores. Some of the various sites have good deals that in store for some reason they don't offer the same deal.
I just find it really really odd that if people want something so bad that they don't use all of the methods to get it. I mean you can buy from your mobile phone these days! Do people in US really go to the store, see something is not there, then go home and wait a week for it to come back to the store? I thought you guys had like UPS over there??
