Best Buy Vs. Fry's

The answer is "Yes, I know this is like comparing a house cat to a nuclear missile." Best Buy doesn't sell as much of a variety of stuff, is too expensive, etc.

But there's something else that Fry's has that Best Buy largely doesn't. And it is a workforce of nerds. Today my parents and I went to Fry's, north of Austin, and two things about its employees struck me:

The Battlefield 3 PC footage they used to show off a Direct X 11 set up was filmed by a Fry's employee, and the footage was of him playing. And what was he doing in BF3? Flying a jet. And he was good; not once did we see him get shot down (and he killed a lot of people :)

The other thing awesome we saw was two dudes telling us how much they loved and hated certain gaming mice and keyboards. They even debated, IN FRONT OF US, how good certain products were. It was the nerdiest, best thing to see in the store, and I ended up buying the keyboard and mouse they agreed were the best.
