I did search my zip code and all the stores doing the midnight release seemed to show.

I would imagine so... but they typically only do these midnight releases for those who have pre-ordered.

I have a Core i7 970 with 6 cores and I get the same issues that OP does. It has to do with optimization at this point.

Except talking about your pay is against policy therefore getting you fired. I'm sorry that I wanted to improve my life and move up in the world.

No matter what happens.. there will be favoritism within the company... no matter what policy is put in place...

Honestly, this "policy" was a blessing it made me enjoy my weekends, now I get to enjoy the holidays, and all associated with that. But, still... I worked hard and I have nothing to show for my work aside from being pushed out of the company.

Legally, they cannot stop you unless they are completely convinced that you are stealing.

Depends how far you go and how long you've been with the company.

The system generates the order. I would call the company number and get that shit straightened out.

You don't understand. Not everyone is as smart as you or me. When you get old grammy pants and her kids won't fix it. What do you want me to do? If there was more value in getting her a new computer I definitely told her to do so.

It's all up to the employee and I was not being greedy for the company under any circumstances.

If you know how fix it then fucking fix it yourself.

I said this below. I don't look through people's stuff. Other people.... can't say for them.

They do have some devious tactics... but most of the time... I always saw people who had multiple failures with their product under their protection plan get pretty awesome deals... for example. Free upgrade from a iPod Touch 2nd Gen to a 3rd Gen. But, that's pretty rare.

Insurance? They didn't give me any insurance and I was part-time. Let's not even talk about the times where they violated state law by making me work more than 8 hours and not giving me a break.

I was really a mix of three things. My job title was CIA or Counter Intelligence Agent. We are responsible for repairs, administrative tasks, and sales. Sometimes we would be pulled on the sales floor to do computer sales. Luckily, since I knew how to fix computers efficiently I mainly stuck in the back fixing them.

Best Buy wanted each employee to make $35.00 an hour called productivity.

There are people that don't know how to install a graphics card. I've seen people completely fuck it up (metal part of the card was wedged incorrectly). I had one guy who installed a graphics card and played World of WarCraft and felt the game was too slow. I'm like it seems fine here... bring your mouse in. His mouse kept skipping around and gave him the illusion that the game was running slow.

No. I left on great terms actually. Everyone loved me... but I needed to make a decision for myself which was improving my life instead of staying at that deadbeat place.

Yeah. I remember getting into an argument with the Home Theater Supervisor and their employees where I stated that the picture quality is the same on all HDMI cables... it's digital not analog. I got shut down.

I honestly didn't buy alot of stuff under employee discount because really you could find most things cheaper online.

Yeah, I was mad... it was just another way for Best Buy to fuck us over.
