One of the comments says that BB is Amazon's showroom.
So, here's what they do: officially become an Amazon outlet/showroom.
Cut the number of Best Buy's in any large area, and replace them with really big showrooms. They get money from Amazon to act as the showroom, and they get a cut anytime anyone orders "from Amazon" right in the store. "We can ship that to you from Amazon today ..."
Remove all media. You don't have to see a physical DVD or game to buy it.
One innovation they could enact is to be able to get any item not already in the showroom at the moment to the floor tomorrow. You can't have everything on the floor, but you can combine Amazon's warehouse/shipping expertise with Best Buy's sitting on the floor expertise to have a super showroom.
Maybe they keep the name Best Buy. Maybe it becomes BestBuy/Amazon, or maybe the name disappears and they just become Amazon.
They're already really good at being Amazon's showroom, they may as well get paid for it.
