Bundle $59.99 I was shocked because on thier site it said $79.99 so i was glad for the $20 off. I get into line and when the lady rings it up the price is $79.99 and i explain that in the back it says differantly so she called the manager over and we went a checked and it said $59.99 same as it did 10 minutes before but i had to pay the full price because it was a stocking error and I call that false advirtising and got a bit upset. Then the lady said that it wasnt her fault but the stocker's fault and i say that i dont care whose fault it is i just want it as the price advisetised in the back so she says that she cant do that and told me either to get out or pay and seeing that im so lazy i paid for it which i probablly should have gone to another store but again to lazy.

Haven't really had any bad experiences with them. The one time I had to bring something back was for my girlfriend's Ipod. This was a couple of years ago and I actually bought the extended Best Buy warranty on it. Usually I don't because it's a rip off, but this was a gift and my girlfriend is a little clumsy so I figured if she ever drops the Ipod it'll pay for itself. Well it turns out after about 8 months the battery in it died. I went back to Best Buy and they gave me a brand new one no questions asked. First an only time an extended warranty worked out for me.
When in-store customers ? Where would they see the internal web site in the first place ? What determines who sees it and who doesn't ? Or am I misunderstanding that this is more like an employee-discount site ?Originally posted by: PG

Everyone needs to read this link.
Here is part of it:
"U.S. consumer-electronics giant Best Buy Inc. has a secret Web site that can block customers from getting the lowest prices, a published report said Friday.
A company spokesman who first denied its existence acknowledged it was real after being contacted by the Connecticut attorney general, The Hartford (Conn.) Courant reported.
Best Buy is cooperating fully with the attorney general's investigation, spokesman Justin Barber said.
When in-store customers inform Best Buy sales people of a cheaper price on BestBuy.com, they can be shown an internal Web site, which looks identical to the public Web site but does not always show the lowest price, Attorney General Richard Blumenthal said. "
