The Great Circuit City Close Out

Bad news: Circuit City, Best Buy's biggest competitor, is finally going under as per predicted by the financial Nostradamus' in the world. This will leaving gaping holes in mall and shopping center real estate spaces, not to mention thousands in unemployed.

Good news: For us techies, we can score some price slashed, liquidated gear. Bad news comes from Gizmodo, but I read Lifehacker usually. Here it is in their words...

The catch: According to Gizmodo, prices may go up to MSRP on Saturday, meaning the whole "sale" part of the liquidation sale isn't exactly accurate. Those prices may drop drastically between now and the March 31 close, so it'll be worth keeping an eye on.

So keep your Circuit Cities under lock and key to make sure you grab that external hard drive you've wanted to separate your important work files from your sitting-on-your-ass-and-proscrastinating files.
