They need to figure out how the American prices for electronic goods can be so low there and do that here!

uuhh.. Taxes? Underpaid, untrained employees? Lack of social benefits? You really want that in Europe?

And can we please change the title? Or is UK now suddenly Europe?

Mainland Europe's largest chain is the MediaGroup (MediaMarkt,Saturn, etc). They never tried going to GB for a good reason, apparently.

Yes, please.

 The title is fine. The division in BB was called Best Buy Europe. While they only operated in the UK, at first, they did plan on extending across Europe. They failed before they got there.

 Whatever reason they haven't come here, it's not because we have a highly competitive market. We have a couple of firms, but it's more of a monopoly situation. That's probably why they didn't enter.
