Thanks! I think I'll, finally, partake on this deal!

Going to price match Prometheus 3D from Amazon ($25) to Best Buy, then use my $5 upgrade to get for $20, you guys think it will work?

Nope. It is YMMV for PM to Amazon. All my stores don't. The upgrade coupon will then be double dipping. This is where I say your chances are almost less than .01%.

I'm shocked that there are a lot of people reporting that their BB doesn't pm Amazon. Mines does no questions asked. The price matching will work, I'm not sure about the double dip method though.

Sweet, time to sort through my Oscar and Emmy screeners, lots of crap I can work my magic and transform into $5 off coupons, MWAHAHAHA

But Prometheus 3d will be $25 next week according to the bb weekly ad thread.

Sonic is right it will already be $24.99 next week as the ad is already been posted at br.com and here.

Also you can't PM and then use the coupon as members have already stated. It is very YMMV and considered double dipping.

any help is appreciated.

is there any way to check online to see how long an item will be marked at a sales price? I would just check the tag at my closest best buy, but it is about 30 miles away, and I typically only make it out there on sundays. I called the store and was left on hold for 15 minutes, only to be told they had no way of knowing.

curious about the workaholics season 1 & 2 set. its currently 12.99. is this the new price point, or will it be jumping up after this week's sale?

I'm kind of shocked that some Best Buys are so weary of PMing anyone, let alone Amazon. I mean, the BB I work at is the only one in a 500 mile radius, but still. I have no problem PMing anyone. It's just weird to know that some stores are turning people away because they don't want to lose $8.

Yes, it's the permanent price. And it's true that there isn't a way of knowing, as far as I'm aware of. New tags are printed out early Sunday morning and put out before the store opens. That's when Anderson Merchandising puts out the media tags and adjusts prices if it's called for.

Thanks for the info. It just seems like too great of a price to not just be a sale. Awesome news. Thanks again.

Probably because its Best Buy policy not to...

Does Best Buy match the prices of Internet retailers?
No. Best Buy does not match the prices of Internet-only retailers or the website prices of our local retail competitors' stores. If, however, a local retail competitor has the same or lower price as its online store and the customer can provide verification of the in-store price, Best Buy will match the price (so long as all other price match policy criteria are met).

No problem, dude! Glad I could be of some assistance!

And slickkill77, that's really interesting. I wonder why POS (the cashier/transaction program) lists Amazon, NewEgg, BestBuy.com, and others that I can't think of off hand as reasons for price adjustments.

Nice. I hope there is a sale on Dark Knight Returns as $10 after $5 trade-in would be the perfect price for me.

I really think this promo is counter productive for Best Buy as now I only buy there when I have the coupons, and when I am in I am always thinking, Ill just wait til the next promo.

Too bad the $20 price for Bug's Life ends today; that would have been a sweet $15 pickup tomorrow.

I think there is a loophole for those that live in the state that holds amazon's warehouse hq. It's a physical location.
