Best Buy was great the day my GPU died and I needed a new one by the evening. Prices were pretty good.
- seiferteric 8y agoI actually got my GTX 1080 there a couple years back. It was the only place that actually had them in stock and was the same price as online.
- 0xcde4c3db 8y agoThe GPU bubble kind of blunted that instant-gratification appeal for me recently. They've apparently begun to accept reality, but some of their GPU prices are still significantly inflated compared to other vendors. For example, their in-store Vega 56 card is $629.99 vs. Newegg selling comparable cards for under $500, and that specific model number seems to be exclusive to Best Buy so they can refuse to price-match.
- avgDev 8y agoSpeaking of GPUs. I bought a ATI card for $600 during a mining craze. I had issues with blue screens, and they took it back 6 months after purchase and refunded me full price, even though it was selling for $370 at the time. Pretty good customer service if you ask me. I mainly want to support local store because Amazon used to have much better pricing than all the physical stores, but now it is not the case. However, it is much convenient to find the item online instead of going to store and finding out the item is not there.
