I have one near my house that I am going to try and raid tonight!

I didn't know UE was such a pos. My posting credentials must be revoked!
Best Buy claims another store?
lol, gotta love those going out of business sales. they discard the current discount prices, throw a fake retail price on there and then subtract x% from the total. suckers think they are getting a deal but they are only getting screwed.
As usual, the ignorance can be fairly astonishing at times:

When a company like Ultimate Electronics goes "out of business" from the moment they make that declaration public, it basically means they've sold their entire store inventories - to the fucking bare walls, including the tile on the floors even - to outside companies who are then responsible for all the sales inside those stores. So UE ain't the one setting the prices 'cause all that "stuff" doesn't even belong to them anymore.
Happens all the time, and the really good deals at most any such sale are very few and very far between. Sometimes you get lucky but, more often than not you don't - the company that owns everything jacks the price up typically at least 20% before they ever get around to putting the "30% off everything!!!" stickers and signs up, so they're ahead of the game before the next round of discounts even kicks in...
Gotta pay for all that shit somehow since it's all on them to make the money past that point.
We've got one here in Las Vegas I might have to take a trip to this week, should be good for a few laughs at the "massive discounts" they profess.
This is accurate. Was the same with CompUSA and Target: all the inventory was marked up 40%, then slapped with "30% off!!!" stickers. By the time prices were actually below market price all that was left were old CD cases and aerosol air cleaners.
I did, however, get two manniquins at a blow out price (manniquins are normally and surprisingly very expensive) when Virgin Records was closing in Times Square, so there are deals to be had if you're looking for odd stuff.
Already went to the Ultimate in Las Vegas. Sadly, they were picked through pretty well 3 days ago. I was amazed. Prices were aweful. BB and Frys had cheaper prices than UE did (infact, up to $200 cheaper on certain TVs).
Who exactly is that directed at?
I suppose that was their most direct competitor, but I wouldn't give them all the credit. Amazon and other online retailers, and even Wal-Mart to some extent put them out.
