Just having multiple accounts in general. And how do you know many pros get their secondary accounts from their low tier friends who no longer play? You must have a lot of connections and talk to many pros day in and day out. | ||

LOL, look at the category they put SC2 in. It probably is related to clearing out PC games (not clearing out console games, I guess?) PS: This doesn't look applicable to Canada (stores are closed today too not that it's too relevant) — Canadian website seems to have cleared out nearly all PC games already. | ||

ive just checked bestbuy and future shop both have the "price match guarantee" but they both say it must be a Canadian retailer. now toysrus is technically a retailer in Canada but its not the Canadians with the sale...maybe you could trick someone who was sleeping on the day job into verifying the price on the .com instead of .ca website(they have to verify the sale is listed at this price before they match it and cut 10% off) actually now that i think about it, what if you got a price quote from one retailer (and they beat it by 10%) then you take that quote to the other retailer...they are both required to take 10% off and just keep doing that...maybe get the game for free??? | ||

Why the need to insult? His comment says those are review comments, does that make them key selling points? And "good sound" as well as "graphics" are subjective. But you go buy your CD, something that helps you rid some anger perhaps? | ||

Apparently the higher-ups at Best Buy got wind of our methods and put some bullshit new policy in place. I second this. Just left Best Buy after almost having the cashier give the $9.98 price but she was like "wow thats a deal, let me call someone". The manager said he heard they were doing this today but they don't price match from ToysRus.COM, just Toys R Us retail stores. Another manager came over and said they don't match clearance prices, just sales prices. I thought for sure my "Ok, then I'll take my money to Toys R Us" line would get them to just do it but they were fine with letting me walk out. Went over to Toys R Us and they have 0 PC games in the store. Attempted to get Walmart to price match and they won't do online ads, its gotta be an actual ad from the store. Oh well, I missed a great deal, is what it is. To bad its all out of stock online :/ Good luck at your local stores. | ||

People should grab all these screens of receipts as proof that Best Buys are doing it. There's another one here thats pretty clear and easy to read. You could use it a leverage when arguing with one of the more stubborn stores. | ||

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. | ||

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? On October 09 2012 13:01 skyflyfish wrote: if you lucky enough(Canada) 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) | ||
