    Cheaper even at the Batavia location. They were closing down before the others.

    UP TO 50% off all items.

    Which basically means nothing is on sale. FYE was always so overpriced to begin with, that even with 50% off, it's still too expensive.

    Of course, that won't stop shoppers from buying up all the CDs and DVDs in the store. They can be had cheaper at Target/Walmart, but shoppers will pay more thinking they're getting a deal.

    Wa who, I agree with Brandon (miracle of miracles eh Brandon?). I walked in that store once, seen the product, turned around, walked out and never went in again.

    How convenient that they announce it on Christmas Day, so that everyone who got gift cards is now in a panic to spend them.

    I was there Saturday afternoon - the line went about 2/3 of the way to the back of the store. CD's were only 20% off at that time.

    I buy used in there. They would have buy 3 used, get 1 free. Since they were guarenteed, it was worth it. Batavia is 60% off all DVD's and Cd's now.

    60% off what? It means absolutely nothing.

    Example: My wife loves the TV series, Reba.

    Season 1 of Reba: MSRP $29.98
    FYE: $23.99 (20% off)
    Amazon.com: $18.49 (over 35% off)
    Batavia FYE: $11.99 (if it's even there)
    Target: $7.50 (over 75% off) (season 1 and 2 are bundled for $14.99)

    What type of bargain are you actually getting?
