Radioshack sells Blu-Ray - Blu-ray Forum

Work next to it and saw em on display, just newer titles. They didn't have 3 disc Wall E =[ the manager would have gotten me 20% off since I know everyone and is friendly to them. But the worst thing is that they charge $29.99-$34.99 regular price.

Radio Shack will probably just pay lip service to BD. They'll only carry a few titles, just so they can try to 'add-on' sales if someone wants to buy a BD player.

The more resources the better! Who knows as they may have sales or BOGOs from time to time in the future. It wouldn't be my first stop for BDs but I'll definitely check some local stores to see if they have any. Thanks!

Do not support RadioShack. I worked there for 3 years and they've changed too much. It used to be the place to go for electronic component but now all they push is cell phones.

very true statement, each one of my paychecks from December a couple years ago was over a $1,000 each and then last December I was lucky to make $600 with cell phone spiffs. They keep changing their pay structure so corporate makes more while the employees get jack. Plus I almost kept getting fired for not pushing cell phones. I told my district manager that is wasn't right to force people to get a cell phone or upgrade when they don't want to. She ended up getting transfered and they brought some new person in since I use to work there and I heard they push cell phones even harder *insert roll eyes smiley*

To be honest I am shocked this store is even still in business I mean they do have some usefull stuff but how often to people go in there

As an engineer and hobbyist, I used to get parts from there. Now I typically order from Jameco if I don't mind waiting. I feel they have strayed from their hobbyist style to cell phones and electronics (as someone else mentioned)...turned into a small box store. I go there very rarely now as they don't have the stock they used to.
