Is there any coupons for this? 10$ is kinda pricy Do you price match? Q: I found this item through a competitor for $4.99. Can Best Buy match this price? does it play battletoads? Q: can i play battletoads on this tv? 10$ tv or law suit. Q: by law you have to sell this to us. otherwise its false advertiseing which will cost you more money by my law suit. Goodluck =D | ||

No way that deal goes through, they're just going to cancel your orders and give everyone refunds. It's obviously an error. | ||

The customer service is probably the strongest point though, I suppose, while I don't see that being helpful to the tech-savvy, they aren't the ones shopping at BestBuy (without a considerable sale). If memory serves, before Circuit City went over it was trying to expand its expert services as a way to better combat bestbuy. | ||

like 20 minutes you post a brand new price mistake deal, shit get spread in the interweb, then ultimately it gets noticed and cancel. Also with people that orders 20 of them. Bestbuy had a price mistake once for a 22" acer monitor for $50 (msrp ~$200) some people in slickdeals were fortunate and received their order. not me | ||

I remember SquareEnix came out with a new DS game a year or two ago and listed it as $0.00 by accident, so I ordered it for the hell of it. So four of my friends (None of which even own a DS) also order it. A few weeks later we actually received the game. Was pretty awesome < < We were actually surprised they still honored the price, seeing as they adjusted it on the site a day or two after we ordered. | ||

If you're going to overreact that much how do you save any rage for the people who actually deserve it? How does this affect you in ANY way?

Well, with common sense everybody should know that BestBuy made a mistake and that they will not sell you this item at the falsely labeled price. Same thing happened to a German catalogue retailer pricing Apple Macbooks at 50 Euros a piece... I think all the people who ordered wanted to have some fun and try anyway to order it...

BestBuy knows that if they raise prices to make up the $19800 they lost on $10 TVs, they would just lose money as customers would go to some other discount store for their needs. If such a situation did happen BestBuy would most likely have to take it as a $20K lesson. The only people that the potential $10 Tv award candidates would affect is Best Buy, not any of their customers. In fact they might make some of the money back from the people who come looking for $10 TVs and end up buying something else. Your anger is unwarranted at those who dream of cheap TVs. | ||

I think if Best Buy could adjust prices to maximize profits, they would just do that without anything driving that. They aren't some benevolent company that's looking out for people. There is nothing wrong with taking advantage of a company's mistake. | ||
