Hey Folks,
Tower Records is going out of business. Everything is 10 percent off. I would wait a few more weeks though because even at 10 percent off their outrages prices it is still cheaper to go to Best Buy or something.

I'd heard about this...though I don't think there's a Tower Records near us...Best Buy just opened near here though.

yeah, I heard about the news probably earlier this year too.

It's such a nice place to hang out, but I think i've only bought one dvd from them during my off/on 5 year visit to one of my local stores. Sucks.

Their anime DVD's are like $33.00

They do have some nice girly anime figures I'd like to get.

I'm surprised they lasted this long. They probably should have bankruptced in the 1990s. They are so outrageously priced, I don't know why anybody would shop there, even when they ran sales.

So all the little rich kiddies . Could supply their homies with all the latest mindless , trendy thing on the market. So the real Homies in the HOOD don't kick their *** lol

That's my theory on Irregular Elephants in the Cirucus lol

I know. (lol) I live in suburbia hell and it's surprised me to no end why that store is always packed.

Tower's is the place to window shop and loiter(sp?)and read the magazines. Only thing I recently bought from that place was 9hr videotapes.

I used to shop at them all the time for 2 reasons, they were always open till midnight and they had a very large selection of import laserdiscs (which back in the day around 89-94 was very rare for a store in the East coast to have)

But I am surprised they are going out of business, like Bobby said they were always packed but I guess they cant compete with Best Buy anymore, I mean Sam Goody went out of business so it makes sense.

Never been to or seen a tower records store. We use to have an FYE about an hour from here the shut down right after christmas. It was really expensive, but it did have a nice selection of things you couldnt find elsewhere.
