Official Best Buy Ad is OUT for bf!!!

I think they've circumvented the Pricematch \ Return-Rebuy thing for BF by not allowing returns before noon, thus after noon, the 6 hour sale is over and prices go back up.

Danke to those that posted for my request.

What does everyone think of the 9600? I've got a GF4 TI4200 (no DVI) that is in RMA.. /me debates. I think i'll pick one up for my HTPC project 🙂
 
please please could someone answer me one question... what are the specs on the samsung 175v syncmaster flat panel monitor? i googled it but got nothing.... please... [does a wild dance in desperation!].. thanks

The ad says nothing about not being allowed to price-match, so I'll just go before noon to the registers.

LA, where did you hear/ see this?

I picked up an ATI 9600 tonight, planning on the return Friday morning. I saw nothing in the store about no returns and the receipt has nothing.

BTW: I am VERY interested in info on this ATI 9600. The box does not indicate a HL 2 coupon.

Here is an ATI comparison chart but I cannot find any reviews.

I've read it here I believe as well as a few various other forums. I stopped by Best Buy this evening and inquired with a friend of mine who is a senior supervisor in the AV department. He said they won't be accepting previously purchased pricematches on 6 hour sale products unless you have a coupon from waiting outside.

Seems legit to me and I do agree with it.

Probably a YMMV thing, I called my store today, they will be accepting price-matches.
 
Oh yeah, is there any chance that the only part of the ad that is 6am - noon is the front page like it was two years ago? And the rest of the pages aren't?
 
dangit... just bought a virgin mobile phone last week from CCITY, and now BBUY has it on sale... Hmm.. you guys think CCITY would let me PM BBUY's sale price although I've already started using the phone?

i dont need a laptop ... but it sure is tempting. i heard its the one that was $750 AR right now ... is that correct? or did i read that wrong on the fw forums. laptop or LCD ... or save my money and pay for textbooks. hrm. the choices. 🙂
 
Does anyone have ANY clue what is in that $200 coupon book with the XBox? I just did the CompUSSR pricing mistake that's available online but I need a backup plan. Either here or Target
