In an open letter from Best Buy, and following on from reports earlier this month, the company has announced that both its UK stores and website will be closing on January 15th, 2012.

The firm will continue to honour existing service agreements, such as extended warranties, on products already purchased, however, recommends that anyone with store credit or gift vouchers spend them as soon as possible as the company begins clearance sales from now, until closing, at the start of next year. We note that new service plans will not be offered for purchased products, though of course by UK law, manufacturer warranties will remain unaffected. Full details of service changes can be found at the following link or in stores: http://www.bestbuy.co.uk/customernotice.aspx.

A brief look on-line shows the following initial discounts:

50 per cent off DVDs, Blu-ray disks and CDs.

25 per cent off floor care, garment care, networking, home phones, software, storage, components, accessories, health and beauty, AV accessories and GPS accessories.

20 per cent off printing, free-standing cookers, microwaves, small kitchen appliances, home audio, gaming software and imaging accessories.

10 per cent off TVs, dishwashers, laundy, refrigerators, computing hardware, gaming accessories, gaming hardware, hardware, DVD players, acessories, MP3/4 hardware, GPS hardware and imaging hardware.

Those looking for a good deal perhaps best get buying from Best Buy, as this is a stock clearance sale, popular items are likely to disappear from the shelves fairly quickly.

Me and a friend went to the Hayes store today, expecting some sort of mega-bargains.
Truthfully, despite the huge number of people in the store, it was more like a ‘January sale’ kind of thing, and some bargains not what they seemed.
Eg 25% discount off a 16GB USB stick… RRP £45.

Still, my friend did want to buy a Blu-Ray player with surround sound, and got a nice Panasonic unit with 20% off, that brought it down to £240 (the same price that Amazon sells it for all of the time).

I'd say that if you prefer to pick something up than have it delivered, then its worth it - however you're not going to beat any online prices if you are used to shopping around.
Best Buy Clearance sale is not that great you can still pick up the odd bargain but most of the stuff is cheaper online, it also seems that most high street electronic companys seem to be struggling to compete with online stores.
Retail has been far less cost effective for many years. Now that credit is less available people are far more compelled to be smart with their money.
I went to see a band at the O2 last week and BestBuy adverts were plastered everywhere. Perhaps they are making a secret comeback.
