Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

I used to work there, and let me say this much, they recycle the shit out of equipment. It's odd that it would wind up at a flea market, but if the hard drive is viable, Best Buy usually wiped it clean and put it in a computer they were working on. A lot of hardware swapping goes on in the Geek Squad department. Anything best buy can do to save a buck. I didnt think anything of it since I wasnt in full access to records, I was just a salesmen on the floor. A old friend from high school told me his routine though.

I have to give Best Buy a hand for having a good return policy for my swapping out 3 launch PSP's until I finally got one with only one dead pixel, but I will always loathe every bastard that works The Geek Squad.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of Future Shop (Best Buy's Canadian branch) either. Still, it carries more DVDs than HMV so I have to go to it every once and a while.

The story is pretty retarded. If Best Buy was going to simply sell it, couldn't they have at least WIPED IT?

Eh... I mean that would've been... NOT cool. :oops: Yeah, that's what I meant to say. (Close one there.) 8)

Hey, Justin Rom what do you have against the Geek Squad people?
