im afraid im gonna have to confiscate your testicles.

What are you, the Cyber police? lol.

Its your graphics card... you have one that is older than Halo appearently, welcome to my club, I have a graphics card that only provides Decals on Halo, no shine, specular, shadow, Chiefs visor is black, Water stays still on Battle Creek, yeah it sucks, but it wont for long because I ordered a better one that is going to be awesome.
In other words, get a graphics card that has been made in the past year or 2, then you'll have the opposite of everything I said above.
(except for the part of me getting the new graphics card : )

Whoa, whoa, whoa, keep in mind that a midrange video card probably costs over $200. It's not something you can get by scrounging up pocket change.

Good luck with it, though.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

NO! Do NOT shop at Best Buy! They are frauds and rip people off.(or try)

Go to Circuit City, or, better yet, go to Newegg.com!

CompUSA is good too.

And yes, Best Buy certainly isn't the place to buy techs and hardware. Oh and not to mention they're partners with Geek Squad, the scammers of the world.

Get a 9200 for under $30 and that will be perfectly fine.

Let there be CHAOS!

Best Buy is an evil, evil place. I suggest you stay away from there at all costs.

Back when I was a lil noob, I used to love Best Buy, but they have screwed me over time and again, so I eventually learned my lesson.

Fry's electronics is the way to go if your squeamish about buying stuff online. I use Newegg to just find what I need then head to Frys to see if they got it.....or something better with the same price-range. Only problem is that for me, they are conviently located on the other side of the city :'(

Products and customer service.

My Uncle bought a laptop there, and BB disabled the free Sony warrenty registration program, so he would have to buy a BB warrenty if he wanted one.

My Mom's cousin bought a computer there that she discovered was used. So she took it back in to tell them, and instead of helping her, they just wiped the HDD and told her it was a new PC. This was after she had put a bunch of photos of her grandkids on it. They were lost because of the crooks at BB.

Not to mention the numerous lawsuits there have been against BB; even some by the AGs of US States.

NO. Best Buy is the devil's store, staffed by megalomaniacs, sadistic jerks, and child molesters. They rip you off price-wise, quality-wise, and customer service-wise. If i was less lazy I would take it upon myself to burn each and every Best Buy store in the nation to the ground.

Those are pretty much isolated incidents. The costumer service may suck, but you cannot gerenalize the whole Best Buy Corporate entity by saying the customer service in that store was bad. In terms of Products, how can Best Buy be responsible for what people buy? I say that with the exclusion of your examples above. Also how can Best Buy disable a free company waranty? . Don't get me wrong, they are just, like every other company, greedy and out to make money. Adam Smith (ftw!). Maybe Best Buy does suck, but I still like it.

Cheers.

Ya, I've been in Best Buy one time, because I got around 50$ worth of gift cards, and I was amazed at how rediculosly expensive everything was. Like 40$ for a 3 year old game that costs about 10-20$ in any respectable place. I was not impresed.
