Welcome to the Neighborhood!

They recently opened a Best Buy near our house, and we went over to check it out on the day of the Grand Opening. It pretty much looks like a Best Buy from the outside, and there wasn’t a whole lot fanfare or activity.

You would think being brand new that it’d be state-of-the-art inside, but it just looked like the inside of a crappy old CompUSA. Also, it has the weird check-out queue where you line up and pay in a little room separated from the rest of the store kinda like in a Fry’s. I’ve only seen one other Best Buy like this.

The store was pretty empty except for approximately 300 blue-shirted pinheads wishing you good morning at every turn. There was one guy who was wearing a baby sling with his dog in it. For some reason, this doesn’t seem appropriate (or legal!)

All in all, it was pretty uneventful, but I did find some interesting “deals.” I don’t know if this was just for the opening or not, but each game system* had a title or two for only $1.99. I figured for 2 bucks, I’d try a couple. For the PS2 I bought 187 Ride or Die and Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon (they also had Sponge Bob Square Pants.) Ride or Die pretty much sucks and is not worth one dollar, (I shoulda bought Sponge Bob!) but Ghost Recon is pretty decent.

Anyway, we got a Best Buy real close now. If only they’ll open the Chili’s and the BevMo, we’ll be set!

*with the exception of the Wii.
