Best Buy fail = I win!

Went to Best Buy today and this is exactly why I always stop to "just look" at the video game sections. My wife is always complaining about that saying I'm wasting time or whatever.. well today I showed her!
Saw Super Mario Galaxy 2 and the price card behind had the Best Buy label at $19.99! Immediately grabbed the game and price card, got in line, handed them to the kid at the register and said, "So this game is $19.99, right?" ..Should've seen this kids eyes get big when he saw the error (looked like the gamer type) He went and got the manager and he stood there for a minute studying the price card labeled incorrectly and he just said, "Hmm, this isn't right.." and I just said "Hey that's how it was when I went over there so.." Then he just rang me up, I win!!!
What's even more funny was Super Mario Galaxy was sitting right next to it labeled $49.99.. How could the second game be $30.00 cheaper than first!!?? I'm going to keep this receipt just because I love how it says $30.00 discount. ;D

Nice score. :cheers:
Best Buy can be butts about that type of thing sometimes. Glad it worked out for you.

Thanks man. Yea I know what you mean. I'm so stoked because I was holding off on getting that game for so long and it paid off. Not only that but I went in there with intent of getting a DS game, because I only need 30 more points on the Club Nintendo site to get the exclusive Game & Watch Collection DS game. I almost ended up getting one but I decided to make my rounds down the other video game aisles and found the Wii game priced incorrectly.
So really I got a Wii game I've been wanting for a long time instead of a DS game for the same price, I got 50 points instead of the 30 points I needed, and now I'm getting a free exclusive DS game from Club Nintendo site. I got to say, today was a good day.

I don't agree with this thinking. If you know something's labeled wrong, why should you expect them to honor that incorrect price? What would you have done if they said "I apologize, but that price is incorrect and we really can't sell it to you for $19.99."?
Do you think there's a possibility that someone could lose their job for that incorrect pricing?

Are you saying that you actually look for this kind of mis-pricing? Often?? If so, might I suggest scanning the Automobile and Real Estate sections of your newspaper. Just one omitted zero.... :cheers:

Actually yes. It is the store's responsibility to accurately price their products. If they don't it's their own fault.
