Best Buy Unveils New & Expanded Private Label Lines; Exclusive Init(TM) and Insignia(TM) Brands Deliver More Style, Selection and Value in Digital Products & Accessories.

MINNEAPOLIS -- In time for holiday shopping, consumer electronics retailer Best Buy Co., Inc. (NYSE:BBY) has introduced a new line of Init(TM) accessories and furniture, and an expanded selection of Insignia(TM) computer and consumer electronics products. Both private label lines deliver quality, selection and value to consumers looking to add functionality and style to their lives.

Init accessories and furniture unite fashion and technology by offering storage for devices in sleek designs that work - efficiently-sized spaces in carrying bags for laptops, cameras, MP3 players and other essentials. Init furniture offers innovative and easy-to-assemble multi-media storage and display solutions for the home theater and home office.

Introduced a year ago, Best Buy's Insignia brand has grown to include more choices for entertainment enthusiasts and professionals who value the latest technology at an affordable price. Insignia LCD TVs, Portable DVD Players and other products are engineered with high-quality components, offering value, performance and reliability.

"Our private label brands address customer expectations for quality products with the best possible features and value for the price," said Mike Vitelli, senior vice president of consumer electronics for Best Buy. "The design, functionality and style of both Init and Insignia help consumers experience more enjoyment from their products."

Init and Insignia products are available now at Best Buy stores nationwide, and can be purchased online at www.bestbuy.com or www.insignia-products.com.
