Blockbuster and Circuit City are two dwindling electronics stores. Blockbuster is being beat out left and right by Netflix and other online movie download websites. Circuit City is losing the lead in terms of electronic sales. Even CompUSA going out of business is not helping Circuit City’s sales.

If Blockbuster buys Circuit City, they’ll be in a better position, but they’ll need some unique strategy that will still set them apart from Best Buy and Staples. Sure, Circuit City has a tech support team, but nobody really hears of their tech support with the Geek Squad’s public appeal. Plus, the Geek Squad doesn’t hold such a good reputation the way it is. So, in sum, this acquisition would be a bust.
