Footage of people shopping at a Best Buy store in New Jersey. Video of people browsing televisions, video games, cameras, DVD's, etc... This video last almost 11 minutes. #bestbuy
I remember buying my PSP at Best Buy in March 2005, the day it came out. I was 16, my parents just bought me a new car, a Dodge Neon. I drove to Best Buy in my Neon, picked up a PSP off the shelf with no pre-order along with one game, Untold Legends. I paid with cash I had been saving for months from my allowance. I had $300 cash in $20 bills. Then I drove home in my new car with my new PSP in the passenger seat. That was an incredible device at the time. Good times.
you are lucky as hell your parents bought you a car and u had a prime upbringing in a great time probably one of the best upbringings to ever happen and u didnt know😳
I feel like one of the few people who still wants to buy a physical copy of everything lol. I miss the giant cd section stores used to have too. As a teen/young adult I made a beeline for the cd section whenever I went into a store that sold them. Then I went to the video game section.
In the film Elf from 2003 Peter Dinklage's character bragged about having a 70-inch plasma at home being as super rich as he was. I'm now a middle classer and currently own a 70-inch TV as well. Not Plasma but LCD but just as good if not far better. Lol! Man I miss those aisles of stacks and stacks of games and movies!
Best buy at Christmas time as a kid in the 90s/2000s was GOLD . We'd sprint to the game section to play all the demos , run to the music aisles and look at CDs and Vinyls , we really had it good man. Its just not the same anymore
this brings back so many memories. i was a sophmore in high school in 04 and remember Best Buy being the promise land for any tech needs and video game shopping. First place i went after i got my license was to best buy to buy video games haha
That was the year my parents bought our first flat panel LCD desktop computer. I was intrigued by how flat it was, considering that most televisions were big boxes back then. The memories.
Dude he had some footage inside a New Jersey mall from 1996 or 97 that I’d love to see again. I’ve got one clip of it saved but need the whole thing. Work your magic 😂
I use to work as vendor starting 2007 I rememeber media and games section looking like this sections after sections they use to have so many titles over the years they killed all physical media they condense the stores media section to like a 4ft to 8ft section but I just miss how best buy and many other stores had there media section good old days.
The guy at 4:25 is strangely friendly. Was it because he knew he was on camera? I never see people that friendly in retail nowadays. We need more of him.
i used to work at best buy. weekends were packed. we would have 4-5 cashiers open at all times and there STILL would be lines. i went into a best buy today (a saturday) at 1pm. i only saw 2 customers
I remember working for Geek Squad around that time. Hated it. I left Best Buy a few years later to go to Circuit City as I thought Circuit City was the promised land. Funny how that ended up working out.
Looking back at this, they have like 12 shelves for all the movies on dvds and vhs cassettes! 20 years later, Best Buy is getting rid of all physical media.
I was 18/19 in 2004. Was living in an efficiency apartment in Fort Dodge, Iowa. Don’t ever move there. In relation to this video, the nearest Best Buy was 60 miles away.
Back when People were Civilized and Not Causing a Scene over some Dumb Sh*t. The world Sucks now, People nowadays will get Offended or Angry over the Smallest thing and People are Attached to their phones so much, you literally can't go anywhere or say anything to anyone without being filmed and Blasted all over Social Media. Now, I was 4 years old back in 2004, So I didn't know JACK SH*T about the Real World, I am 23 Now, and I already see how the World is, and it's just Awful. Thank you for these Videos, It's great to see what the World was really like before things started to Fall Apart.
I think you know enough. I was 4 years old in 1973 and you're right, a gradual change in people has taken place. In modern times, more people are emotionally unstable and prone to violent reactions. If you happen to live in the U.S. violent unstable people are likely to be armed.
It's actually a defense mechanism for alot of us who are tired of all the BS but no I wouldn't get mad if someone filmed me in public cause one it's a constitutional right to film in public and 2 I do RU-vid myself so I'm used to it
