Wow you're cool..  I knew they had to honor that price because when I used to work at places like Sears, Big 5, etc. they had to honor whatever the price tag read.  Now, I can see them not giving it to me if it was something ridiculous like $1.00, but this was no price tag/sticker that anyone could've just peeled off another game and stuck it on there (ticket switching) this was an actual Best Buy label/sticker affixed to the card that read "Super Mario Galaxy 2: $19.99" so I knew they had to honor it.

Are you saying that you actually look for this kind of mis-pricing?

I really try to support B&M when I can, but lately all my purchases are newegg.com and amazon. The hassles of dealing with the retail stores make physically shopping a rarity for me these days.

BobbyG66:
If something is labeled incorrectly, the store pretty much has to honor it. Unless someone is switching labels.
I always demand they do, it false advertizing if they don't.

I have a buddy that stops by Stop & Shop every couple of days and checks the DVD's.
Every couple of weeks, he finds one for $5.00.

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:

Lol youre kidding right!? Its not like its some Mom and Pop place trying to make a buck here, this is Best Buy we are talking about. They pretty much cornered the retail side of the electronics market. Well, here in CA at least. Going to the losing the job part, no, I dont think they would lose their job, but I imagine they would be reprimanded for not doing their job correctly. Kudos to getting that find, I wish I could find stuff like that.

I agree with the person that said its false advertising. Besides, they do stuff like that for quality control. Albertsons says that if they dont label their groceries correctly, if it rings up at a different price, you get the damn thing free. Same kind of thing if you dont get a recepit at Panda Express, you get it free. Its to keep people in line so they do their jobs, because if they screw up and dont do it, they pretty much get called on it because they know who is responsible. I think its great. Screw Best Buy, they can afford it. That game has made a ton of money anway.  :cheers: :applaud:
