Guys. I don't think you realize how liquidation works. You will not see 50% off of any video games. Everything worth a dime will be sold out at the 10% off phase. Then, the crappy games will be marked down to 20% and by then, everything will gone.

Kay-Bee Toys marked down videogames at 60% off just recently.  360 Games were even 50% around Christmas actually.

As an soon to be former Circuit City employee, I'm using former knowledge of how the other stores were shut down with what I'm saying. It's not going to be that low.

This is Sad :(

I'm guessing it means the ones in Canada are going under as well. I may go & pick up some more Sanyo Eneloop batteries when liquidation starts.

 

Canada's stores will still be open... they posted a statement on their site just recently:

 

Are you also shutting down your operations in Canada?

  • No, our Canadian operations will continue.  They are not affected by the liquidation of Circuit City's U.S. operations.  The Canadian operations employ approximately 3,000 associates.


Well I'm happy to see the ones in Canada aren't closing.



Well, I always thought they were overpriced... so I am not so surprised.

The Canadian stores will remain open apparently.

Anyways can anyone confirm discounts on products yet?

does that include 'The Source' stores in Canada?

 

Apparently not: "Its InterTAN subsidiary, which operates 765 stores across Canada as The Source by Circuit City, says it won't be part of the parent company's liquidation and it will continue to be business as usual."

Less competition. great.

 

its good for Best Buy which means Best Buy can better compete with WalMart. With this economy you need less competition in order to servive against Wal-Mart.

if im right it will only be 10% off. Might want to wait. CD/DVDs will be 20% going off the original store closing prices.
