Tonight I told an employee about the site and when he pulled it up on the store computer it looked like this: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/whurley/4196968856/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/whurley/4196968856/</a> 1656 whurley 2009-12-13 23:41:21 UTC 59 false 162 best buy 72 customer service 205 ideax 2100 information 8 computers 3205 in store 1 4354 2009-12-15 02:12:20 UTC 5 2 I really wish Best Buy would move the South Austin location to somewhere with better parking. The parking lot is a nightmare almsot all the time and with the holiday's it's just awful. Clearly with the addition of the musical instruments section the store now needs to have more parking for customers. 1656 whurley 2009-12-13 23:41:21 UTC 59 false 3167 parking 205 ideax 72 customer service 162 best buy 1 4349 2009-12-14 21:51:30 UTC 5 2 Currently if you are on this page and you click the &quot;Best Buy IdeaX&quot; logo it takes you back to <a href="http://bestbuyideax.com" rel="nofollow">http://bestbuyideax.com</a> but if you visit the blog then that same action takes you back to http:// blog.bestbuyideax.com<br/><br/>Making the same logo/button/etc have different UI implications across the same site is confusing for users. 1656 whurley 2009-12-13 23:41:21 UTC 59 false 162 best buy 3163 bestbuyideax 3162 ideas x 0 4348 2009-12-14 21:46:39 UTC 5 2 I would love to see Best Buy stock items like the GBoard. The price is around $19.95 and as soon as I saw it I wanted one immediately. It would have been great to be able to pick one of these up at my local store (I would have probably even been willing to pay $29.99). 1656 whurley 2009-12-13 23:41:21 UTC 59 false 3160 stock 162 best buy 72 customer service 205 ideax 213 products 3161 gboard 0 4347 2009-12-14 21:41:13 UTC 3 3 I'd love to see the ability to create a wish list on BestBuy.com and share it on my personal website. This is something that Amazon offers and it would be a great feature for BestBuy.com.

Basically this is what Amazon uses to show that customers who purchased this, also purchased X. It can also be used to remind me that what I just ordered doesn't come with batteries and perhaps I'd like to get them while checking out. 1656 whurley 2009-12-13 23:41:21 UTC 59 false 205 ideax 162 best buy 72 customer service 322 bestbuy.com 0 4341 2009-12-14 07:06:30 UTC 2 6 I think this site is very useful, but wonder why it's not on the front page of the Best Buy website? Best Buy should feature it more prominently on the website. Perhaps a feature break out on the front page, or at least some sort of link similar to the &quot;we'll call you back&quot; at the bottom of the other pages. 1656 whurley 2009-12-13 23:41:21 UTC 59 false 162 best buy 2100 information 205 ideax 72 customer service 322 bestbuy.com 1 4340 2009-12-14 07:03:50 UTC 7 5 I would like to see Best Buy create the &quot;GreenSquad&quot;, like GeekSquad but for green products, service, and installation. They could install solar panels, and other energy products for homes in the local are of the store. Seems like this is something that Best Buy would be very interested in. 1656 whurley 2009-12-13 23:41:21 UTC 59 false 64 geeksquad 3154 greensquad 72 customer service 162 best buy 205 ideax 3153 green products 0 4337 2009-12-14 06:33:44 UTC 6 3 It would be great if you guys could expand the 'Apple Computer' section of Best Buy stores. The ones in Austin have the basic models, but the accessories section is a little sparse. It would be nice to see Best Buy offer competitive prices on things like GDrives, and other &quot;traditionally Apple&quot; accessories. The Apple store prices are artificially high on some items due to the lack of competition and I would gladly purchase them from Best Buy if they were made available in the store. 1656 whurley 2009-12-13 23:41:21 UTC 59 false 162 best buy 72 customer service 205 ideax 3151 product selection 1 2511 4431 2009-12-19 07:11:22 UTC 5 I even spoke to a manager about this, and they had no idea about this site. 1656 whurley 2009-12-13 23:41:21 UTC 59 false 2510 4430 2009-12-19 07:06:35 UTC 3 I mean seriously shouldn't this work? 1656 whurley 2009-12-13 23:41:21 UTC 59 false 2474 4354 2009-12-15 02:13:11 UTC 5 This is not just an FYI, if you have ideas on how this could be improved please add them.

It would have been great to have had an idea of this BEFORE I made the purchase and got it home. 1656 whurley 2009-12-13 23:41:21 UTC 59 false 2472 3039 2009-12-14 22:44:03 UTC 4 Yeah I agree that the search box could be more prominent on the page, but it would also be nice to see some sort of advanced search function added as well. 1656 whurley 2009-12-13 23:41:21 UTC 59 false 2471 4166 2009-12-14 21:53:02 UTC 3 This is pretty common practice and has partially something to do with the banking rules.
