    It's funny how in years to come, this moment will be one of those times when people will look back and remember exactly where they were and what they were doing when they learned the final day of Circuit City's liquidation sale had come to an end. It's sad, and yet at the same time, it brings us together in a way that only big box consumer electronic chains bring us together when they go out of business.


    It's like when one my parents mentions The Wiz, or Crazy Eddie, and then they get all quiet and sad. I never really understood that... until today. :(

    @Penguins-R-Us: I was crashing into an event horizon at just under the speed of light. My body was being ripped to shreds by gravity waves so intense, my flesh was vaporizing into a fountain of subatomic particles as I glanced at my netbook. I'll never forget the Giz headline as my face exploded into a stream of quarks: "Circuit City Shuts Doors For Good" or something along those lines.


    I hear you brother.


    We each have our own private memories, and the very personal way we deal with this kind of tragedy when, in an instant, nothing will ever be the same.

    Honestly, it was nice to get a few good deals this weekend... but it was kind've sad. It was as if a dying friend was giving away his stuff. My in store "tech buddy" pointed out the best deals to me & I upgraded my laptop for a mere 35 bucks. As packed as it was, it's a shame all these people wern't out there when the store wasn't having a fire sale... all these people would be keeping their jobs.

    @DuqNcover: Well you know, if it didn't feel like I was walking into a seedy strip club every time the door parted I'd probably have shopped there more often. Instead what I found was a poorly organized DVD section, absolutely no rhyme or reason to how the store was laid out when looking for a single cable or adapter, and generally people that were less helpful or useful than even Best Buy.


    I cannot even invent reasons to set foot in CC. They just simply are not on my radar for purchasing electronics or related paraphernalia.

    How long until Circuit City starts selling things people have there for repair as "unclaimed" to make up a few more dollars? Heh.

    Hey, why don't you post a link for people to donate to Toys for Tots for those (like me) that didn't make it to the Gizmodo gallery?


    I know I can donate anyways, but lots of people ask for me to donate to charities but Gizmodo gives me so much pleasure, I would like it to be on behalf of Giz. The live feed, articles etc... from the gallery were amazing. Thanks all around!

    @Kaiser-Machead: The first one is always a headache and a pain, but the successive ones are a little easier cuz you've learned lessons. Besides, I think Giz learned they have a army of laborers who will work for swag. Also, if they don't have another one, there will be a fight at Giz HQ over who gets that fantastic Lego sign.


    Remember Giz, I promised to wear the animatronic McGruff the Crime dog suit if you get it for next years Gallery.

    Next year hang the lego model (Lego death star) far enough away from the wall so that when the touchy feely crowd *ahem* spin said model, bit's (laser beam) don't hit the wall and fall off. *Cough*


    Thanks for the free Make: when's the raffle draw?
