They won't price match my purchase!! I bought the 8800GT a few days ago for $279 - 10% coupon. I went there today told them to price match the on sale price, but they won't apply the 10% coupon for me. Is that true or that rep is just stupid don't know how to do it in their computer?

Mine also shipped today, how will you apply the coupon after the fact?
Whoever handled your return/pm is just being anal. Go back with another coupon .pdf and if they won't give you the 10% off tell them you want to do a return/repurchase. This should work without issue as the only hurdle you have to worry about in this scenario is if there are no other cards in stock. Typically this isn't even a problem especially if there's a manager involved since they would much rather honor their own 10% coupon than deal with a return on a video card.Originally posted by: Dexmaus
They told me they can only price match the $249 sale price, the 10% coupon has already been used, so they can't price match with additional 10% off. anyone that works in Bestbuy could clarify this?
Its not that surprising actually, as BB has had some pretty nice deals on video cards in the past. The one thing that's surprising is the GT's retail price at B&Ms is actually somewhat close to its MSRP/market price. This tells me that the GT is in fact aimed at the mid-range market with high availability expected. The GT pricing/frenzy at BB reminds me a lot of the VisionTek Ti4200 sales at BB around Thanksgiving some years back. Anyone remember that? People were stashing Ti4200s all over the store in anticipation of the Black Friday sale, was quite funny actually.Originally posted by: Syntax Error
I'm still sorta shocked this deal went through, normally Best Buy isn't the "Best" Buy, but we prospective 8800GT buyers don't really have too much choice in the market right now, do we?

I went back to BB today armed with my receipt, the weekly ad, and the coupon from http://pulverizer72.com/scans/ which is the only coupon I could find online. A CSR and a manager were chatting at the Customer Service desk when I approached. The manager was very adamant that the coupon could not be combined with the sale price -- it had to be one or the other. The sale price was a few bucks cheaper so I went with that. The CSR credited my MC for $30 and some tax, and that was that.
Overall I'm very happy to get this card for $249 + tax, but I'm a little confused about the coupons. Others in this thread seem to have been allowed to combine the sale price with the coupon with no problems, while the BB manager I spoke with acted like I was crazy for even suggesting such a thing. Is it because I'm using a different coupon (http://pulverizer72.com/scans/ vs. the mailed out rewards coupon), or what is going on here? Even returning/rebuying would not have worked in this case, since I would still have had to combine the sale price with the coupon, which this BB would not allow.

Probably YMMV, but then again, you shouldn't have approached the the service desk when the manager was there.
I bought mine almost two weeks ago with a 12% coupon and this past Sunday I went to BB and got price adjustment. You were just unlucky.

Ok.
SO I ordered online the BFG 8800gt 512mb oc on the 21st in the evening. Backordered. I am wondering how long its going to take them to ship it out. I tried looking also at coompusa and they are also backordered. This sounds pretty serious and feels like it will take a long while. Anyone familliar with this situation? How long does it really take?
Thanks,
