Best Buy rant - Blu-ray Forum

ApolloOne · 12-09-2010, 02:15 PM

Yesterday, I needed to buy a SATA cable. The only option near me is Best Buy, so I went there, asked for an internal SATA cable, and the associate showed me their only such cable...

IT COST 20 BUCKS!

I just don't understand it. I know computer parts are probably not a significant portion of their business, but $20 is just TOO DAMN HIGH!

Buy from monoprice.com, or even Amazon.

That's what I would normally do, but I needed one immediately.
