Once Amazon started charging sales tax in my state, it was a no brainer to go to Best Buy first.

- Same price (or sometimes less)

- No waiting on delivery

- High confidence that I'm getting a genuine product

For me, it's the last point that's most important...especially with more expensive electronics purchases.

Coming from a guy wearing a $50 pair of counterfeit Billabong shorts right now, that I bought off Amazon, I agree.
