Best Buy meets Costco - a place you can look at things you'll buy later online.

Microcenter costs are often competitive, plus you don’t have to worry about counterfeits. Where else would you be buying equivalents online anyway?

I only by SD cards and USB thumb drives at Micro Center after being burned multiple times with counterfeits from Amazon.

They tend to be themed. The store in Cambridge/Boston area is probably more to your expectations.

Huh. If the Indianapolis Frys had a theme, it completely escaped my notice.

> With the opening of the Fishers, Indiana, store, Fry's made a "race track" theme with various hanging displays, including "stop" and "go" signs.

The Burbank Fry's UFO was definitely noticable.
