I wandered in there to get an HDMI cable so I wouldn't have to walk so far to the back of Wal-Mart and they were like 35 bucks for a 4.' So I went next door to Wal-Mart and got one for 5 bucks.
Edit: While in there I also amused myself by going in the "hi fi" room just to see what's in there now, and some sap was getting a receiver. I feel sad for anyone who's actually interested enough in sound to be in that room but that doesn't know any better than what the "geek" there spouts about their product, but not sad enough to assume the guy was worth telling him he should be elsewhere....
Edit 2: I've had good experience with Audio Advisor btw. Quality shop. They took back a pair of speakers that just wasn't working for me no problem, and when I had pre-purchase questions about the preamp I got from them the guy on the phone was very knowledgeable/helpful.
Can we get a movement going to boycott Best Buy? Can we "Bud Lite" them?
You just started it! I'm in -- and I'm OUT of BestBuy
There is NOTHING I need from Best Buy that I can't do without or get cheaper online.

Agreed. Haven't been there in 3-4 years anyway. No loss to me -- no impact!
It's a real shame. There was something nice about going to a store to pick out some random piece of tech.
Oh well, another log on the fire of companies to forget about.
Micro Center tends to be better anyway. Has its own woke problems, but Best Buy is only there for better warranties on OLED displays.
I can geek out for a long time in MC.
Decided I was done with best buy before I opened the comments.
I am Done...btw do we have a PATRIOT version???
Done!
