Best Buy is The Worst by ...

... far to purchase technology or have it serviced.

They've a reputation for shady dealings, been investigated various State Attorney Generals for various alleged fraud, and ticked me off with their "we'll match any competitor's price (unless our competitor's price is lower)" policy.

Here's a posting over at M$NBC about a gentleman who had Best Buy replace the hard drive in his computer, wouldn't return the drive with his data to him, assured him that the data would be safe, then proceeded allow his hard drive to be sold to a stranger in another town with all his personal data still on it! Scary!
