There's probably a couple I missed...

If GC business falls off, where do Yamaha & Roland Go ? Answer: Best Buy ...

I am certain Best Buy is getting excellent terms.

Let's face it....With the closing of Mom & Pop stores all over the country and major chains such as Brook Mays - Woodwind & Brass going bankrupt(I am sure there are others I have missed), this move is all about survival for the music industry.
