Best Buy fail = I win!
Dartful Dodger:
If Dre-w later back pedaled I missed it, but even if his new interpretation of events are correct, Dre-w's actions proved that he was screwing over Best Buy.
He took the label with him to the casher to prove the mistaken price was printed. He kept the receipt to prove that the item wasn’t officially priced at what he paid for it.
What more could he have done?
Nothing, he did everything he could to prove he intentionally cashed in on someone else's mistake.

I just think the magnitudes of the offenses are a little skewed, but whatever. Its not like he got the damn thing for free or anything. I stand by what I said. "Rock on. Good score". :cheers:

If he thought he found a great deal you'd be right, but...
The title of this subject is Best Buy fail = I win, not Best Buy sale = I win.
The word "exactly" means a typo was exactly what he was looking for.
When people get hurt by accident they deserve to be compensated. Some people get hurt on purpose to win a big settlement.

Dre-w did later clarify that he meant that he was looking for sweet clearance deals, but even if your interpretation was correct, Dre-w's actions proved that he was not out to screw Best Buy. He checked with an employee and inquired about the price. He let the manager check it as well. They both approved the price after carefully checking the tag, then Dre-w bought the goods. What more does he need to do?

Does anyone else out there follow that logic? How does asking store employees about the validity of a price, showing them exactly where you think the issue is, and checking with them if the price is valid = trying to screw over Best Buy???
That's exactly the opposite, thats making sure you are not screwing over the store. Let Dre-w just enjoy his sweet find. To me his find proves nothing more than showing that Best Buy overcharges so damn much that anytime you find a good price it is assumed to be a price mistake.

This thread's life has done nothing short than amaze me.
If he had walked up to the counter, and asked if he could buy that game at the price listed, and they told him no, he probably wouldn't have bought it. Or maybe he would have, but doubt it. Regardless, it was up to BB to either honor it or not. If they had not, the worst that would have happened was dre-w MAY not shop there ever again. But again, I doubt that. Apparently he likes a good deal. I also seriously doubt he would have made a big stink about them not honoring it, nor filed any lawsuits over something so insignificant and petty.
At no point in his post did he say he DEMANDED that they honor it. At no point did he threaten lawsuits or anything. He simply asked if it was correct. Then with a response to the manager after he came that is was labeled that way, the manager APPROVED it. No parties made a stink about it. For all we know, it could've been a one-day sale thing or something. How is dre-w supposed to know?
I guarantee you all if dre-w had said he would pay the (probable) full price of $49.99 for it, the manager would've politely declined, saying that he only need pay what was on the sticker. Would you still fault him for it?
