Bankrupt

[Bluoholic]

Big news will hit the stands very soon, if not now.
"The following companies just filed for Bankruptcy:

> Hollywood Video
> Levitz
> Sharper Image
> Performance Team Freight
> Linens n Things
> Circuit City
> Bed, Bath and Beyond

If you have gift cards from the above list use them ASAP, they will
not
be valid for much longer. "

This is the email I got from a friend *sheesh*
I'm just a messenger and I don't know how true the info is, although I heard rumors about CC and Hollywood Video struggling and going bankrupt real soon.
Have at it boys and girls.

weird, our hollywood video is starting to offer blu-rays on May 5th.

Sounds like a bogus forwarded e-mail....

CC doesn't surprise me. That's the lamest tech store ever.

This is where Pinoy gets all his "Hot Deals" from and mentions speedy in his posts. Hopefully he doesnt put Blu-ray.com in the limelight bringing that stuff here.

very interesting

The 4 in my area have closed their doors for good last month.

And i can very much see cc heading right behind them, is it just me or do circuit city stores all just look cheap and dirty all the time? Hell i tried to buy predator from them when target was offering it for 19.99, even though it clearly stated on the web site that it was 19.99 they would not offer it at that price since i did not physically have a flyer on me, even though i showed him that the flyer online we all recieve here had them clearly pictured for that price, they would not budge and really looked like they could give a crap. I said fine put down 2 other blu disk's i was about to buy and walked out.

All of the Hollywood Video stores around here closed too.

On this list, the only one that surprises me is Bed Bath and Beyond.

The latest CAGcast brings word that electronics retailer Circuit City has served CAG Productions with a subpoena. CAG Productions is responsible for popular video game shopping community CheapAssGamer.com, which has 100,000 registered members. The retail giant wants CAG to turn over all personal information about registered forum member Speedy1961, who has been posting weekly CC ads prior to their release on the site. Speedy has also posted them on DVDtalk.com, and that site appears to have received legal action as well. The subpoena mentions one CheapAssGamer thread in particular, which prior to E3, revealed that the PS3 would get a price drop. That same thread also included pricing for games at Circuit City as well as game prices at Target and Best Buy. From the thread:

CC is struggling, there is a bit where Blockbuster bid some billion dollars to buy out CC, I think it didn't fall through.
If it's true we will see soon enough. *shrugs*
