Bestbuy PM online prices for sure, since I have done it before. However, it is really up to the manager. So YMMV again.

Wow just came back today and they put out some more stuff. No Diablo 3 though

Isn't Skyrim Steamworks? Did they take whatever the code was printed on, cuz if not that's a hilarious fail on the shrink-er.

I'm thinking he's not up-to-speed but I'm about to go take a look and tease myself again.

That's almost exactly what the one I called and stopped into told me; when I got there, I couldn't find anything on the shelves, but then I spotted everything in a basket behind the counter.

Mebbe cuz no one brought it up in the Chicago thread until last nite.

I'm in that area and I can confirm that there's basically nothing there. I picked up MW3 from the Fairlakes TRU and they had a few BF3's, but that was a few days ago.

just got sc2 and bf3 each for 9.98. this is in kansas city, thank you OP for heads up. the one in olathe is dead dry now, all they have left is a few ac and batman.

I tried to price match Diablo 3 and Skyrim at Wal-mart and Target. No go:( I've never been to my local Best Buy. Think I should even try to price match there?

Son of a... I just opened a sealed TRU Skyrim and gave my friend the key. Steam says it's been redeemed already. I start looking and pop the disc out. Fingerprints. Somebody has a shrink-wrap machine.

Hope they will take it back at TRU though I know it's against their policy, I looked on Steam about how to handle this through them and it sounds like a huge pain in the ass.

What happened??

Tried a PM at Best buy on Diablo and skyrim. The manager said no since neither was in stock. Makes me regret buying skyrim yesterday - could have gotten 6 copies at bb. I maybe i'll do a return then pm @ bb?

God bless the busy manager. Scored at best buy. Skyrim and D3.

Stupid toys needs a star craft page.

Anybody have pictures of Diablo 3 or skyrim with the discounted price tags? Target needs a printed ad or proof of in store price to match. Online price isn't enough. I'm

score on diablo 3 at best buy 5 minutes before close. all best buys should price match online prices as long as they aren't online only prices and these clearly aren't. I think the confusion is because it is a new policy. im sure a manager could deny it if they wanted though because it seems like best buy managers get a lot of freedom with prices and stuff. the problem is the in stock check. I called two best buys before I went. one checked over the phone and seemed like they asked a manager and then they called tru and they were obviously out of stock so no go. but with the second best buy i just asked if they would price match a tru video game they said yes and that was it. so I went in and it worked. if you can get them to commit on the phone like that it should work because im pretty sure the people that answer the phones are the ones at customer service.

Well there wasn't a basket on the counter, but suddenly there was a basket on the sales floor that wasn't there yesterday, and I am happy to say that Dad will get his SC2 and D3 for the holidays and the sister will get some Sims expansions. Gotta thank BB for price-matching the D3 online price; I stood there for the longest time debating whether I'd even try it when I noticed one of my favorite managers... that was my cue!

I thought Target did store ad, hard copy only. Didn't know proof of in store price was sufficient. At least, for me it has never been.

I'd be hassling everyone possible through both TRU and Steam. If nothing else, if it can be proven the guy jacked a Steam key then there's a good chance he could have his game - or, even more juicy, his entire account - revoked.

scored a PM on D3 at Best Buy 10 minutes before closing at Pittsburgh Mills. I told them TRU was having a crazy sale on Diablo 3. I tried showing her the page on my shity old multimedia phone but it wasn't completely loading. But the girl at the register was cool and looked it up and was able to PM it. I had a RZ certificate and was gonna pick up ME3 with GCU coupon anyway so it wouldn't have been a wasted trip even if I got shut down. I didn't try and push my luck and get them to PM Skyrim or SC2 though.

Well shoot. My local BB and Walmart wouldn't pricematch my TRU ad printouts. I don't have a TRU near me... so I'm SOL.

I might try later. Maybe I'll get someone a late crew person who could care less. The day people will fight you if you have the print as in hand for an in town store

Yeah, same here. It has to be a "hard copy" and it has to be on "sale" for the week.

For walmart, try to PM without the ad/print out. They will call the store to check the price. You do not need to have the ad on hand to PM, however there must be a TRU store near Walmart otherwise they will not PM.
