That said, Blockbuster ain't much better. It would have been the perfect combination of 2 crappy companies.]]>Jul 1st 2008 10:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/blockbuster-calls-the-circuit-city-merger-off-asks-for-class-ri/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/blockbuster-calls-the-circuit-city-merger-off-asks-for-class-ri/Jul 2nd 2008 9:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/blockbuster-calls-the-circuit-city-merger-off-asks-for-class-ri/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/blockbuster-calls-the-circuit-city-merger-off-asks-for-class-ri/Jul 1st 2008 10:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/blockbuster-calls-the-circuit-city-merger-off-asks-for-class-ri/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/blockbuster-calls-the-circuit-city-merger-off-asks-for-class-ri/Jul 2nd 2008 1:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/blockbuster-calls-the-circuit-city-merger-off-asks-for-class-ri/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/blockbuster-calls-the-circuit-city-merger-off-asks-for-class-ri/Jul 1st 2008 10:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/blockbuster-calls-the-circuit-city-merger-off-asks-for-class-ri/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/blockbuster-calls-the-circuit-city-merger-off-asks-for-class-ri/

I'm not a Worst Buy "fanboy" (is there such a thing?), but I won't mourn the loss of Circuit City at all. The stores, like many employees, were just completely useless. I'm more concerned about what will happen to the store space once they're gone. In this economy, CC's closing -- with no retailer out there looking to expand -- will kill off a lot of strip malls...]]>Jul 2nd 2008 4:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/blockbuster-calls-the-circuit-city-merger-off-asks-for-class-ri/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/blockbuster-calls-the-circuit-city-merger-off-asks-for-class-ri/
WTF CC has some of the worst selection in HDTVs, that is unless you like Vizio....
