This morning, Circuit City posted this message on their website:

Circuit City would like to thank all of the customers who have shopped with us over the past 60 years. Unfortunately, we announced on January 16, 2009, that we are going out of business.

It's a sad day, and we're sorry to see them go. They've been one of Price Protectr's most popular retailers for years and (personally) one of our favorite places to shop.

The economic crisis is hitting everyone pretty hard these days, but that's all the more reason to use Price Protectr! (Where else can you find sales without even looking for them?) If you have friends ore family who could use a little extra money in their wallet, tell them about Price Protectr!

Price Protectr was recently featured on Tech Closeup! The piece came out really well and answers a lot of questions about what we do, how we got started, and even how we work with the retailers. Check it out, pass it on to your friends, and let us know what you think!

We're always looking for ways to get more great deals out into the hands of Price Protectr users. When we first launched, all we offered was price protection. Over the past year and a half we've expanded to add price watching & targeting, deal alerts, price drops of the day emails, RSS feeds, and more -- all features to help you find the best deals and keep more money in your wallets.

Prices tend to drop quite a bit right around the holidays and we wanted another way to highlight all the great sales - so we launched LightningSale.com. It covers seven of the most popular categories of consumer electronics; HDTVs, digital cameras, camcorders, GPS devices, blu-ray, memory & storage, and gaming.

Each section highlights the most recent price drops in that category and even gives it a "Lightning Score" so you know how good of a deal it is without having to do any math!

Just like the sales on Price Protectr, the prices for these items can go back up any time, so jump on a deal if you find something you like! And, of course, all the category pages have RSS feeds so you can peruse the price drops using your favorite feed reader.

So check out LightningSale.com and let us know what you think! Hopefully we can help you and your family save some money this holiday season.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year from everyone here at Price Protectr.
