Now, thankfully, they are doing a more than just hooking up cords. They will also be setting up the console to ensure proper parental controls are implemented, to ensure the content being allowed is age appropriate. 

 

Will people actually find value in services like this? Or is Best Buy trying to capitalize on parents not wanting to educate themselves on the matter? See: Report Praises Games Industry, Disses Parents.
