Never forgave them for the DIVX monstrosity, so have to say "See ya!  Good riddance!"

Too bad about all those people losing their jobs, though---even though they only had jobs because CC fired everyone who knew anything and thus wanted to be paid more than minimum.

Nice foresight.

I just can't believe Washington is not going to give them $50B in bailout money!

If I were them, I'd have that in front of the Supreme Court in a heartbeat!

Even though I hate Circuit City and don't shop there, this is really bad news.  It's just that much less competition for the rest of them.  And that's not good for my wallet.

For the most part, these electronics retailers are getting all the competition they can handle from etailers.  Having a big box chain bite the dust won't materially impact prices.

In case you live in a community that does have a Circuit City for the time being, remember there are no good deals. The one by me closed right before Christmas and they marked everything up to the SRP and then discounted that, so there is no real savings. Plus any big items will be sent back to the manufacture for some kind of credit. Also once you buy something and its broken, no matter how much you payed for it, they will not except any returns. Just a heads up.
We're on a mission from God.

Best Buy and Radio Shack's biggest brick and board competition is WalMart. Wally World owns close to 20% of the USA trade deficit, nearly all with China...

Will we become a nation of ebuyers, never touching or seeing any product before we own it?
If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.
