Sony Quietly Opening Retail Stores

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the sly-moves dept.

as400tek writes "According to CNN, Sony Electronics Inc. has been opening stores in selected cities all over the US. Denver and Las Vegas are the next two location, or location numbers 11 & 12. Should the Apple retail model be applied to Sony, and if so why didn't it work for Gateway? Should Dell be next to enter you local shopping mall? Should large retailers like Best Buy and others be afraid of this model? Does this mean better service for Sony's already nice line up of electronics?"

    I used to watch Sony...

    But then they got a restraining order.

    Now I have to be content with looking at online pictures of VCRs and occasionally hiding out in the bushes next to BestBuy.

    They'll be the most expensive place to buy Sony products, only carry home electronics (no computers or parts), and be staffed by people who know all the buzzwords but have little idea what they mean.

    Yeah but now... "You have huge American penis. You buy."

    Actually, with Fry's, the customer pays for that. In spades.

    Have you ever asked a Fry's employee for help?
