In Reply to: Tower Records Store Closing Sale in Chicago posted by Deacon Blues on October 16, 2006 at 12:12:10:
I'm assuming the Chicago stores went to 15% off recently also. But this only brings their prices close to what on-line discounters and the big-box stores charge every day. And remember, no returns or exchanges at Tower now. Even if the item is defective you are stuck with it. I'll go back only when they're offering 40% off.The loss of Tower leaves Fry's as the only Chicagoland retailer that stocks a halfway decent selection of SACDs. And I have to stress "halfway", because they have not been restocking with the latest titles for several months. They have lots of "trash" like the old Sony single layer stereo titles.
BTW: It's not really set up as a retail store (it's a mail-order business), but Music Direct will let you into their warehouse to peruse their large selection of SACDs, DVD-As, lps and CDs if you ring their buzzer. The warehouse is on the near West side of Chicago.
