Explanatory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends the registrant’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 24, 2006, announcing the appointments of Ari Bousbib and Rogelio M. Rebolledo as Class 1 directors of the Best Buy Co., Inc. Board of Directors (“Board”).

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

On September 13, 2006, the Board appointed Director Ari Bousbib to serve on the Board’s Audit Committee and Director Rogelio M. Rebolledo to serve on the Board’s Nominating, Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee.

Mr. Bousbib is the president of Otis Elevator Company (“Otis”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Technologies Corporation. During fiscal 2004, the registrant entered into an elevator service and preventative maintenance agreement with Otis. The agreement was established in connection with the opening of the registrant’s new corporate campus, which contains equipment manufactured by Otis, and also covers a small number of the registrant’s retail locations. The agreement is expected to continue as long as its terms are deemed to be competitive and in the registrant’s best interest. The total amount paid to Otis during fiscal 2006 was approximately $216,000. There are no other transactions or relationships between the registrant and Mr. Bousbib that are reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
