Wouldn't prices on Amazon be classed as website pricing and therefore exempt from BB's price match guarantee?

They may not on small items, but like another poster said, they price matched my tv from amazon only by checking their site from the store. they mateched it evenly and asked if that was low enough. If i was not surprised it wasn't a hassle for that matching i would have asked to go lower. :)

This was done a few months ago.
