Got it from Best Buy. Borders were sold out and didn't find the service at Fry's very good.
The buses were initially difficult to figure out. Had to get a bus out of LAX - this was free. Then take another bus to the shops - number 232 and it cost $1.25 - bargain!...

Well, hopefully you looked around. It's still a unique experience.

Interesting.
I had no idea of any of the reputations of any stores there. So my [literal] 5-minute experience of Fry's was pretty standard then?
Yeah, it was an interesting store. There seemed to be some sort of theme
going on in it.. like a jungle/Mayan/Inca thing... but I couldn't quite get it with so much electronics and such everywhere.
Shame I didn't have more time there...

Also, they take returns, so one of my friends calls Fry's his "lending library".
Each store is themed differently.

Yes, service-wise, you hit the nail on the head, but if you know what you want and checked pricing ahead of time, sometimes they have good deals, and they also have a lot of stuff that's hard to find, and a lot of stuff you generally won't find elsewhere at a retail store, so it can be fun just to look around the store. They also sell Jolt Cola and things like that at the same time. Fry's Electronics has become a sort-of institution in the California Bay Area because of all that.

Yeah, only 5-min so unfortunately didn't get the whole experience.
They had all-sorts of stuff as well as electronic/gadget... quite interesting - what I saw at least.
Hopefully check it out again soon...
