360 Bundles Lead To Best Buy Housecleaning
Groo Wanderer writes "At the launch of the XBox 360, there were reports of forced and unwanted bundling by several companies, most notably Best Buy. There were things said back and forth, and the usual corporate banter. They have followed through, this time, and a good number of people lost their jobs." From the article: "We are told a manager that started the procedure is no longer employed at Best Buy. At least one senior district manager is no longer employed, and some of the nailings are rumored to have gone even higher. The big yellow inquisition did not stop there, and several other managers and assorted white collar workers were given an escorted walk to the parking lot."
LAWYER: What of the reports of the Rebel fleet massing near Best Buy?
GATES: It is of no concern. Soon the Rebellion will be crushed and young Sony will be one of us! Your work here is finished, my friend. Go out to the command ship and await my orders.
About time someone cleaned up those stores a bit. Dirty bastards with all that yellow and blue...nauseating.
Whenever Mrs. Fitch breaks wind, we beat the dog.
Because Best Buy is a chain. Each store has its own boss, but they still have to answer to the Big Boss. In other words, they were already bound by a previous deal
Best Buy's don paid for all the Xboxes, which he then sold to his capos. One of the terms of this sale was that "youse hafta agrees wit company polisees, capiche?"
Forza is not a cruddy racing game, but actually pretty darn good.
Maybe so, but he actually wanted to get his "son" DOA volleyball and GTA.
If I have been able to see further than others, it is because I bought a pair of binoculars.
