Vigo compares screwing Best Buy with screwing Banks.

Vigo fail = I win!

I think he is saying that youre a bit hypocritical, especially in magnitude of the offence. The dude got a discount because something was priced wrong in the amount of 30 bucks. And like Lilshawn said, they make so much money on those things anyway, they already turned a profit even with the price being what it was. Not paying your mortgage because you know the only consequence will be a bad credit score is a tad different. So its easier to say "screw the bank, if they werent charging such high interest rates, I would be able to afford paying my mortgage" than to say "screw Best Buy, they priced a game wrong and Im not going to pay full price due to their error"? Just seems a little...um... I dont know... Retarded?

I love how you call it "screwing Best Buy". Its actually laughable. THEY are the ones that "screwed" themselves by not listing the correct price.

I cant believe either that Mario Galaxy isnt a greatest hit, or whatever the Wii calls their old games anyway.

I always demand they do, it false advertizing if they don't.

In the USA, it depends on the State you live in before you can say false advertising (remember, its private property ((and no, you dont have to enter)) and if it wasnt publicly advertised, then it isnt advertised - I learned that in my legal economics/business/labor classes). Most stores try to make sure their items are priced right, sometimes there are errors. Usually to save a future customer, they go ahead and honor the label/sign.

Ok, I guess it doen't follow the legal definition.
I was just taking it as the price labeled is the price they have to honor.
They are advertising it in the store.

It's like others have said, they have old sale signs up and they honor the price.
They usually take them down right away.

Now, I could see if they had some generic sign and the sign or product get misplaced then maybe.
But if something has a sticker on it with a price, that should be the price.

Thanks, mike!  :cheers: That's exactly what I mean. I wasn't trying to compare Best buy with the Banks at all, I'm just trying to point out the hyprocacy in Dartful's view.

Dartful, I'm not trying to call you out for the voluntary forclosure thing, sorry if I sounded too condemning. I'm no moral crusader. I understand you were just trying to do what was most beneficial to you. I just pointed out a case where you admitted you could pay your bills, but wanted to dump it others for your personal benefit....simply to point out that you really are not the person to be slamming a guy $30 off of a video game.
