I was browsing their online store and there were a couple of items that I wanted (dvd and a PC game). I did not want to wait for the free shipping (7 days or so), so I thought I'd go to one of the local stores and just buy them there.
They had both of the items there but the prices did not match the online prices at all. For example, Freedom Fighters for the PC was $20 on the website, but $50! in the store. I asked an associate if they can price match to their own website, and he said no, and that he had no clue why.
It just seems like bad business. Is there anyone here that has a good sense of the corportate retail structure who could possibly tell me why Best Buy would do this? Thanks.
