[quote Chupa Chupa]the CE market leader right now is BB, which grossly OVERPRICES almost everything they sell.
They do not 'grossly' overprice their electronics (TVs, iPods and the like). There are list and 'street' prices for that stuff, and just about everybody sells it for the same price. They DO overprice their accessories, however. In fact, their actual business model, and most of their profits are based on selling these ancillary items and the extended warranties and now Geek Squad services (which are a joke). The 'low prices' and rebates on big ticket electronics are just a ruse to get you in the store.
