Media Play

Media Play was an attempt by The Musicland Group to compete with so-called big box retailers such as electronics stores Best Buy and Circuit City, who sold CDs at near cost to lure customers. In addition to music, Media Play also carried books, video games, DVDs, and pop culture collectibles. The chain really only succeeded in taking business away from Musiclands and Sam Goody mall-based stores and finally closed in 2006.ƒ€š‚
