Best Buy in Charleston

The new Best Buy just opened up across the parking lot from the Ice Arena. We have been watching it close in anticipation. Can't buy anything from them, but we have been watching close. Isaac and I saw people in plain cloths walking in and out on Wednesday as we were driving away from the Ice Arena. Sooo... we stopped by. I guess that it was the 'soft opening' for friends and family of the workers. We had a bunch of fun in there getting our sneak peek.

Then on Friday, it was officially open. So we all went.

Lexy is excited and Isaac has the sun in his eyes. Two totally different emotions and facial expressions, all captured in one shot.

They have a lot of interactive stations in this Best Buy. Isaac loves it. It's like going to the arcade without having to pay for any of the games. Here is a picture of Isaac playing the Xbox 360 Kinect and Lexy is playing the Playstation Move. The Playstation one is a step below the Wii, but the Xbox Kinect is sooo cool... No wires, no controllers, no problem. This thing recognizes when someone steps into the playing area, scans them and adds them. If someone needs to leave, once they walk away the game recognizes that they have left and switches back to single player mode, mid-game. The kids have played it at Best Buy about 3 hours so far. I'm kinda starting to feel guilty.

Here is another cool bit with all of the interactive stations they have adds some nice little perks. This is a picture of the charging octopus at one of the stations with a computer, Wii, Playstation, and Xbox360.

No picture, but we all listened to the Beats by Dr. Dre headphones.

W O W... Very cool, very expensive.
