Best buy price matching sucks

Good luck getting them to honor the price match. It will be a fight and you'll probably have to involve a manager. Corporate makes this policy but the individual stores will still be ranked and judged on their numbers as usual. "I see your gross margin is down from last December, why is that?"

Better than nothing I suppose.

Very likely.

Not to mention that on big ticket items, like TV's, they have manufacturers create model numbers that are exclusive to their stores. They can then use the excuse that since it is not the exact same model number they don't have to price match Amazon or Newegg or ... even though it is the same TV. They might price match on little things but I honestly think that, for the most, this is just a PR ruse.

Personally, I don't have that much issue with Best Buy. They are good when I want to get something right now or something that I think may need to be returned for some reason (like a defective TV).
