Circuit City Revises Downward: Where Does That Leave Best Buy?

Problem with CC and BBY is that they are fancy showrooms to show products on behalf of the product makers. Unfortunately they make money only when they sell the product. I wanted a 40" sony tv 1080p and CC and BBY were matching prices at $2499 and AMZN with free shipping to my living room was $1949. I would have liked to buy it at CC since they are a local company. When I asked the salesman about the price he said he could not match AMZN, but the manager might. No attempt to ever get the manager was done by the associate so I went home and bought the tv from amazon after viewing the product at CC. I see BBY and CC as doomed unless they get competitive on prices or figure out how to get paid for advertising the product for Sony.
