I guess I'm the oddball here as I like shopping at Bestbuy. Granted, I only make a purchase maybe once out of 5-10 visits to the store. I like to go there to just look around at what's new and test out new products to get some "hands on" time and then buy the stuff somewhere else although I do buy from them aswell because of the replacement blacktie plans that have saved my ass many times and also the 2-3 year no interest financing I get. My local store a few miles down the road will remain open until the whole company shuts down by 2015 If the economy itself survives that long so I'm not heartbroken over the news. I don't have the problem with the employee's pestering me because I go in the store looking like a complete bum and they stay away. One time I really wanted help and was gonna buy so I went looking for someone and the kid saw me and actually took off running to the back room to avoid me.

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.+1

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.+1
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
