The problem with a going out of business sale at Media Play is that even with a 20% discount, everything is still more expensive than it is at Best Buy. This, of course, is probably why they’re going out of business. Of course, every time I’ve walked into a Media Play store in the past year or two, it’s pretty much looked like it was already going out of business anyway…
What really baffles me, though, is that Media Play’s corporate siblings Sam Goody and Suncoast manage to live on. I don’t really understand how they or FYE (formerly Camelot) fit into the retail music/video scene anymore. As I recall, the last time I remember hearing someone saying they were headed to Sam Goody, it was so they could pick up that new Pablo Cruise 8-track…
Apparently, though, there are people who actually PREFER paying more for stuff at outdated mall stores with no selection to speak of. But wait. They’re going to REMODEL all the Sam Goody stores. That should fix everything. Yup…
