>Addendum: if you are thinking of heading over to the nearest Circuit City to snap up some bargains, it's probably a waste of time. I just got back from the one in McHenry. It was jammed with people (first day of liquidation sale) but not so much with bargains. Lots of stuff was not marked down at all and most of the rest was 10% off. DVD box sets were 20% off but were so high before they're still expensive. (Apparently Circuit City's prices there never dropped down like Best Buy, Amazon, et al did last year). Big signs all over the place outside saying up to 30% off. Key phrase = "up to." The only items I saw marked down 30% were some TV stands which were wildly overpriced to begin with. Some open box printers for around half price. There wasn't anything that even tempted me.

Yeah, that's what we found as well. I picked up a few Blu ray disks but checked the price on Amazon first before buying them. Even with 20% off on those most of them didn't beat the Amazon price, just matched them.
