Best Buy moving to the UK

mcvuk.com are reporting that Best Buy are moving into the UK marketplace next year after a deal with Carphone Warehouse. This could open up a whole can of discounting worms.

Re: Best Buy moving to the UK

I frequently wander round Best Buy stores in the USA; have to say that I wasn't all that impressed, other than the odd item on pecial for a specific week.
However, it was useful to be able to see so many techno items in one store. Hope they're doing OK overall since Comp-USA seem to be going backwards and have shut down loads of stores all over the USA (I went to 1 this March on its last day and managed to find a few bargains amongst what was left).
