There's a Circuit City add that keeps popping up on the top of the screen on Seibertron.com.
I thought Circuit City went out of business (like KB Toys)? All the stores closed. WTF is going on?

Circuit City has a website. Just because the brick-and-mortar shops close doesn't mean the company is out of business.

It's not THE Circuit City, anymore.

Systemax (A U.S. computer manufacturer and has it's hand in TigerDirect) bought the rights to use the name for an e-tailer business.

The brick and mortar stores are closed, there is no CC that you can visit, and even though they have the name, it's not quite the same CC you remember.

Yeah, Systemax did the same thing with CompUSA.
