Media Play WAS cool when it first opened. Books, music, movies, and software in one store was a great idea.
Problem is, other retailers evolved to their model...I can go to Borders or Barnes and Noble and get books, movies, or music; I can go to Worst Buy or Circuit sh------- and get movies, music, or software; or I can go to their web sites or Amazon and get anything.
Media Play was a good idea that failed to evolve with the times. Just like the old department store retail model was overtaken by The Borg - er, Wal-Mart.
