The thing that makes me mad about Best Buy isn't that their prices suck or crap like not letting you buy the BD when they have it on the shelf and then treating you bad for trying to buy it, its that 50% of the time when you try to price match (this has happened to me at more than 1 location), they try to argue some weasel excuse out of having to do it.
Amazon - online, we don't match.
Wal-mart - well, im gonna have to call the local one about this, because if they are sold out (cause its a hot movie and there is a chance they might be) we won't price match cause technically you can't get it there. so i waited there for like 5 min. holding up the line, looking like a jerk making everybody wait, while he called wal-mart.
walmart.com - its online, we can price match (now they can???), but we have to include the S&H cost in the original cost and then charge you tax on top of it all.
bestbuy.com - same deal as wal-mart.com, yeha for their own website.
and the ultimate one, where i just blu (lol, not funny i know) up. was Circuit City had a great price and the fricken manager told me that they did not price match on blu-ray discs. he got reported for that one and i got my price match.
if i didn't get my way, i just walked out with my purchases at the register.
My ultimate Best Buy moment is when i was doint some audio equipment research.
I asked the Magnolia guy if I could hear a sample of loseless or uncompress audio from a blu-ray disc in their home theater (no tvs or BD players were on).
He looked at me and said, I don't know what that is, we have Bose.
Bose?!?!?!??! seriously, how do you get an overpriced speaker company and audio codecs confused and be allowed to work at anywhere outside k-mart electronics.
