    You can enter the code BBY to get anywhere from 10% to 50% off your online purchase, depending on what you are buying.

    To be honest most people who didnt see it in the news at the time would have probably never known. I have never seen a single advert for Bestbuy and they only had around 12 stores, none of them around where I am either.

    To be fair to them, it's not exactly the best time to try and open a new chain of stores now is it? I'd understand if they bought out a chain (like Walmart, who own Asda) but to try and start off in this economy, I'm surprised they didn't tank sooner.

    I knew I couldn't take Best Buy International seriously 'cos they'd end up closing sooner or later. Best Buy works out best for US.

    None around me either. Shame they are closing. I went in one when I went to Canada and they seemed pretty good.

    Their problem is too few stores and those stores are too big. If they would of built smaller stores in more locations, it probably wouldn't of been so bad. They do have a nice selection on everything electronics. Sometimes a bit pricy but sometimes you can find stuff for pretty cheap there too.
