Good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Helpful Gentry was the most help of all. I can sometime be a difficult shopper so when a salesman goes out of his way to assist me I am grateful. I always know if I need help I can always count on best buy. To ask the geek squad a question is a joke though
