Media Play, the big-box seller of music, games and movies, is going out of business and will be closing all of its more than 60 stores nationwide

There are 4 here in Atlanta - in some places the markdowns have started.

I loved Media Play when I lived there....

There was one right by where we lived, near the Gwinnett Place Mall. It closed a little while ago. I'm not sure when, as I didn't really notice. :)

That sucks for their employees.. Just now finding out (on Friday)!

That's sad to hear. Greg actually managed a Musicland store back in the mid-90's, just as the Musicland Group was begining to open Media Play stores in order to compete with the Best Buys of the world. It looks like Best Buy wins.

Tecnically Best Buy one a while ago. Best Buy bought Musicland group a few years ago and then sold Them when they decided they were losing to much money on Musicland group. So part of the reason they lasted as long as they did is due to the amount of money Best Buy put into the company before they sold them to some one else. Forgot who Best Buy sold them to since that was a few years back.
