Best Buy will match the price if you find a lower price on an identical available product at a local retail competitor's store, a local Best Buy retail store or BestBuy.com. Simply let us know when you are making your purchase or during the return and exchange period.

The Guarantee does not apply to: Our competitors' website prices, offers that include financing, bundling of items, free items, pricing errors, mail-in offers, competitors' service prices, items that are advertised as limited-quantity, out of stock, open-box, clearance, refurbished/used items, Deal of the Day items, BestBuy.com Midnight Sale and special hour sale events, BestBuy.com Clearance & More and Marketplace items, and items for sale Thanksgiving Day through the Monday after Thanksgiving.



it does list clearance as being not allowed, except on toysrus.com it isn't a labeled as a clearance sale only a "Cyber sale 30% or more off"



That's great point. You should ask any Best Buy employee to point out where it says that Toys R Us is offering a clearance sale. If they can't then you could argue that it's a regular sale and they must price match.

If we could get a list of all confirmed titles that are going for $10 that would be great. So far I think we are at:

StarCraft WoL
Diablo 3
Battlefield 3
Skyrim

Correct me if Im wrong and let us know if there are more.

I can't find Skyrim; only the xbox ver are available.

Actually it IS listed under clearance on their website. That's how I found it anyways.

Fact is even if a store says they have some sort of price match "guarantee" I don't think they're ever obligated to fulfill it, even if they don't have a clause in their statement saying that they have the right to refuse any offer.

I don't see how a store has to price match something, even if it's their standard policy, but I could maybe be wrong?

Wow... they were even open? I didn't think they'd be open on thanksgiving day.
Shouldn't the price have been 5$ though? their price beat guarantee says they'll beat it by 10% of the difference, and 10$ minus 10% of (60 minus 10) is 5$.
It would have to be $11.80 to be 7$.

I'm a bit surprised they did the beat, considering that it's not the Canadian website, but I guess the fact it's not Canadian isn't obvious at all, and if the salesperson doesn't care much (doesn't call manager or something) then it's pretty understandable I guess. Personally I'm surprised why so many retail websites even bother having separate .ca websites when they have a presence on both sides of the border (although I guess there are reasons — newegg.com seems to have different availability of products and even prices than newegg.ca, but I'm thinking that maybe that's an unintentional after-effect of having the sites separated)

Lol, not a single person has realized but you have to buy Pokemon Black OR White 2 in order to get this discount, ya know?


That's a completely different deal. They are two separate promotions.

A. Buy Pokemon Black 2 or White 2 and get 70% off a game priced at $19.98 or more.
B. Select computer titles are now $9.98 for a limited time.

Although I know the game is out of stock in most places, if anyone that is going to a store to buy the game could get a copy for me as well(I just want the code), I'd pay through paypal. New player here.

Thank you!

Went to Target today and they said they could price match if I had a printed ad. I might be able to pick up the remaining copies if I can find an ad but I don't know how I'll get one...

I know someone who works at Toys R Us and this is a real clearance on most PC games. Unfortunately new shipments of these games for some stores haven't come in for months so your best chance to get SC2 for this price is to find a store that will price match the clearance price as people have suggested as finding an R Us that actually has it in stock is probably harder than getting to GM in a week with never playing SC2 before

also if you go to toysrus.com and type in pc games it'll bring up a full list of the games so u can check to see if there are any other games u want to get price matched somewhere

Just went to Best Buy and got the price match with no trouble! Sorry to all you guys who weren't able to, but for those who still want to try, there is hope!

I can't get to a local store for a copy, so I'm wondering if anybody could grab me a copy (either for anything listed in this post, PayPal, or a combination of both). It would be much appreciated if you sent a message if you could ^_^

I wouldn't pay 10 bucks for the NA copy. Played on it for a year and hitting masters but its now polluted with maphackers spoiling the game for me.

Moved to KR server a week ago and it's like falling in love again!

I just bought it at bestbuy for $10. I showed them the toysrus website to price match and they said they would, but the game rang up as $10 without even price matching.
