I bought a sony vvega Tv there because it was significantly less expensive there, like better than $100 less than elsewhere. They tried to sell me the extra warranty and I told them no. I didn't even discuss it. Then they tried to sell me MSN by way of giving me a discount on the TV if I signed up for MSN. I told them I owned an ISP and that MSN and Bill Gates are evil, so they shut up. I said, "Just the TV."
I would not buy computers and computer accessories there. Generally computers sold at large retail establishments (like compaq/HP and in the past packard bell) tend to be more proprietary, lower quality, and more expensive to fix than computers which can be built on your own or built by a local generic computer shop to your specifications. Dell can usually beat the big box retail prices, and local shops can often beat Dell. The big box places like best buy and walmart will also RIP YOU OFF when it comes to buying a cat-5 ethernet patch cable or printer cable that you happen to need with your computer. They probably triple their money on these little items, and make little to nothing on the Sony vvega TVs.
