Best Buy IdeaX

It would be great if we setup a display screen behind each with pictures from that camera. We could use a partnership with Flickr to gain the images for the displays. This would help customers see the differences between the different models and inspire possibilites.

As we move into the digital distribution age one of the coolest things we could do is to provide a DVD burning station.

We would then burn a copy of the DVD for the customer. This would cut costs for everyone involved (the distributors are the only...

If the Best Buy App could read QR codes instead of just typing in a SKU or item number it would give customers a branded app that can process information about products in our system.

An example would be http://bby.ly/8008559 That url would link up to the Wii like this one does now: http:...

It'd be great if... Insignia and Dynex made computer monitors. They already make TVs, would it be difficult to remove the tuner and other inputs and only have a VGA?

This concept would change the floor plan around to expand the warehouse portion to cover about 80-90% of the building. Customers would still have access to Blue Shirts, a Geek Squad precinct, and customer kiosks.
