Best Buy Invaded By Legion Of Blue-Shirted Pranksters

Whether your gadget-buying experiences at Best Buy have been pleasure or pain (ours have tended towards the latter), you’re probably familiar with the uniform their employees wear: royal blue shirt, khaki pants, black shoes.

Best Buy’s Xbox 360 Tricks

The Xbox 360 may seem like a revolutionary console good for all ages (primarily teenagers and adults), but the way Best Buy is making us work to get one makes me feel like I’m in elementary school eating paste again.

Best Buy Holding Out On Xbox 360s

Straight from Best Buy’s Retail Insider newsletter comes the (leaked) word that while Xbox 360s will be fully re-stocked between Dec. 11 and 16, they will not be made available to consumers until Dec. 18.
