Comment on: Report: Is Best Buy refusing to match prices?

[mmntech]

I've found that Best Buy Canada is pretty good adhering to store policies. When I bought my 60gb PS3 it went from $549 to $449 a week later. I took it back and got the $100 knocked off no problem.

However, this doesn't surprise me as I've encountered the vary same problem at other retailers. Usually it's stores not adhering to their own return policies. I had bought a monitor from another major computer retailer and had been told that if it had seven or fewer dead pixels they'd exchange it on the spot with an identical monitor. When I got home, it had about five but when I took it back I was given the run around and the guy at the back started telling me it was seven or MORE, which contradicted what their girl and the sign at the cash said. I had to get the manufacturer to exchange it for me. Needless to say, I never shopped at that store again. I've had this happen several times at various different placed but this is probably the most glaring example.

I can almost guarantee you that it was seven or more, for the simple reason that they wouldn't specify seven or fewer. Also, that policy would seem to imply that if you had more than seven, you couldn't exchange it.
