[UnixFreak]

I think this is a record, even for them. I don't know if you guys have been following this scam, but
its gotten bad.

There's already a big, honking thread on this. Even includes a few posts by the guy who got cuffed at BB the other day.

There are so many problems with what that Steve guy has to say on Hypothermia it's rediculous. He's even resorted to making stuff up to add to "fiasco."

<< have attempted to call Mr. Hill all morning to ask what criteria must be met to actually have the original price honored. Do you have to be Male? Female? Black? White? Does it matter that the first person to get the correct price at this very same store was a White Male, and the person turned away today happened to be dark skinned of Indian Nationality?? Well, we won't know, because if you go into the store to ask...you will be ARRESTED. >>

What does race have anything to do with it? Sounds like he's just trying to make things worse by making this Best Buy out to be racists.

Shows how pissed Steve is at Best Buy... it's all bordering pathetic and stupid .. all this crap for a video card.. it's all "gimme gimme" if you ask me. I agree that BB screwed up big time with the card listing on the site and the arrest.. but I would be so damn happy if this "arrest" was legit so they could shut these guys up for once..

Yo,
This is reminiscient of when US West became known as US Worst.

Best Buy is becoming known as Worst Buy.

I think he's making the point that the people who were getting the pricematches (including the one at that very store earlier) were white males, and here comes an Asian Indian looking for a pricematch as well and the manager has him arrested.

Any asian male who really wants to help Steve is to go back to that same store, attempt a price match, and be detained (I'm still not convinced this is more than a detainment). It'll serve two interests at once: the interests of Steve (This is clearly racially motivated!) and Abraham in his lawsuit.

What? No takers? You mean you're not trying to prove a point besides trying to wriggle out a deal from a price match?
