"The guy at Best Buy said we couldn't get on the network without Win 7 Pro."

One of the guys at my store told a customer that they didn't get a certain games bundle unless they bought the product replacement plan. Luckily a manager was nearby and heard this. That guy was fired on the spot.

He was doing his job. Anyone lesser(than you) would have purchased the xbox elite just to get the card.

BUT!! monster cables work better because they're GOLD coated!!!
That's why they cost 10x more!! cuz they're made with GOLD!!
AND!!! gold conducts sound and electricity better!

that's what the best buy person told me!!
and i believe 'em!!

Ah, I love trying to sell monster cables. It is a great challenge. In all truth, they are probably built worse than a standard HDMI cable.


Of course customers who just got their 60" Plasma and PS3 want the absolute best, lol.

I'm picturing a whiny little console douche jumping up and down crying because the BB employee didn't know where to find his Gold card. And it was there all along anyway. Thread delivers.

Ummmm, what? I have no interest in Aus at all, so I don't know WTF you are on about. Are you pissed because some smarter and more qualified NZ'er came to Aus and took your job? Does this make you feel inadequate? That's probably because you are inadequate.

Who would have thought a thread about Best Buy would lead to pointless flaming and anger?

i can understand putting SOME of them up at the registers... but LEAVE SOME IN THE DAMN DEPARTMENT!!

how many customers are gonna ask or look elsewhere for their item? not many. i wonder how many sales they lose because of this crap.

How many sales do they gain though by placing them at the registers? Customer impulse spending probably moves a lot of volume on the cards.

I hate dealing with people who don't even know their product they sell. I usually just do that stuff online.

i hate people who expect ridiculous perfection from minimum wage slaves. most people don't know what an xbox live account is outside our geekish circles. i know its hard to bear hearing that:p

anyways anyone supporting that douchbag bestbuy company known for screwing both workers and customers deserves what they get.

It's usually best to ignore all Best But employees... especially the retard at the front that always says "Hi".

Obviously they feel they are losing less sales than they are gaining by "hiding" things (putting things in strange locations so customers have to walk the whole store to find them).

no.. i pay mostly for the Netflix Streaming via XBox Live.

My GF has a 4-year-old and is mezmerized by the Thomas and Friends videos. Netflix has like 8 available for streaming.. so it keeps him occupied for hours.

I also watch movies in HD via the streaming.

my GF just bought Dragon Age: Origins and wanted to download the DLC (got 1 free with purchase of DAO) .. so it was two-fold.

It makes sense if you use Netflix Streaming.. which i do... and it was $39.95/12 months..

$3.50/month to watch unlimited Netflix movies in HD on my HDTV, makes plenty of sense to me.

It's times like this I'm glad I have a PS3 instead of a 360. :D
