Extreme right wing sympathy
Had a quick look at their site, nothing too spectacular but there again, I'm not in the market at the mo. I thought it a bit odd that they are calling the shop assistants Blueshirts, this, I believe, was the name adopted by the Irish fascists in the 30's.

Site was terrible
I had a look at buying a WII console -
-sent off site to hut something which gave 500 error the first time
-worked the second time but no stock, exactly one WII console on sale (at a £15 premium over Play.com)
-item listing had such short descriptions it was necessary to always click to see what the item actually included
Not very professional.
Best Blag
Warning - giving your card details to Best Buy is like keeping your PIN in your wallet and leaving your wallet on the bar.
In one day, without physical possession of my card, someone ran up £9400 of fraudulent transactions at eight or so Best Buy locations in Florida. This would require at best extreme incompetence or at worst collusion by an employee. Boo hiss. Took me a year and an ombudsman to sort my Citi Bank (boo hiss) account and credit record.
Plague - avoid like the....... :-( You have been warned
