Technology Stores

If you want to buy yourself anything from a flash-drive to a 60" HDTV there are a few places where you can go but the key is to know what to buy where. For most of your tech needs you would go to Best Buy, Hhgregg, Micro Center, and maybe even Costco. So here's the deal I've never actually been to Hhgregg so if anyone can provide feedback about it I would greatly appreciate it. Now if you want to buy gaming products either go to Best Buy or Micro Center depending on how you are with your stuff. If you want brand new you'll pay original prices, e.g. $300 for a PS3, at BB or you could buy a refurbished bundle of the same thing for $50-100 less at MC. For those of you who don't know refurbished means someone used it, gave it back to the store(possibly broken), the store made sure it was all good/fixed it, and put it up for sale again, mostly all the time the price being reduced significantly from its original price. Personally I don't mind freshness so I would go for refurbished but some people like to keep it completely mint when they buy their products. Now T.V.'s again I haven't bought yet from anywhere(my family is a bit cheap on that category), but I can judge off of what I see and hear. I would say Best Buy or Costco for T.V.'s since I always see a few people walking out of Costco with a new T.V. and Best Buy has a good variety. On top of that BB has the new Buy-Back program which means you can come in and resell your technology if a newer version comes in, e.g. I buy a 3D t.v. and next month comes in 3D supreme or 4D or something, so I bring in my regular 3D resell it to the store and I get my $4,000 back minus like $300 for the fact that its not new and value does decrease. So yea basically Micro Center for video games and Best Buy for T.V. as far as my knowledge goes; if you do know anything about Hhgregg, help me out and please comment, THX :)
