Got a price matched at best buy tonight for d3 and skyrim

I thought about trying to PM at Best Buy when I was there today, but considering there's a TRU in the same parking lot I don't think they would've went for it.

Maybe this is an avenue worth investigating at a different store though.

I tried price matching at my Wal-Mart and they did call the nearest TRU. They told them it was a clearance item, so Wal-Mart refused to price match. It's hit or miss, worth a try. No SkyRim for me. :sad panda face:

Guy told me that picture of price tag would probably suffice, but he also said they've stopped doing that for the most part. Worth a shot if a pic of D3 with the price tag is available, though.

Anybody know how long the TRU prices are going to last? I figure until all the items are sold. Anyway, I'm going back tomorrow and maybe this weekend to keep trying the PMs at BB and Target.

Lord help us, the Slickdeals effect has hit CAG.

Also, what's this print ad people are talking about? I can't find anything about $10 PC games in the current weekly ad on the TRU website.

Do I just say TRU has these for $10 and ask to price match? Do I bring the phone number? I've never price matched anything before, so I'm a bit clueless.

Will try to pm at BB and Walmart tomorrow.

It might take a week or two because Steam support is slow, but you shouldn't have any trouble.

edit: Apparently I can't read and it looks like you already found that :P. Hopefully it helps someone else anyway

I would go in with your phone or a printed out copy of the toysrus.com web page with the price on it. That's what I do.

Damn, no go with PM at Walmart for me, the manager keep saying its a online deal only, didnt want to be one of those people so I didnt really argue with him. Good luck on your hunts guys.

My Wal mart told me they won't honor it because its an everyday price. They only match ad prices

I actually tried that at Target and Wal-mart and was able to PM. Then someone said to go without and have them call TRU instead.

All you guys that are going straight to Best Buy and Walmart, did you bother stopping at TRU first?

Trying to get both Diablo 3 and Skyrim. I went to Walmart first and tried to get a pricematch on Skyrim since they had it marked down to $40. No go. Went to Best Buy and grabbed Skyrim since I thought it was $40 everywhere but I guess that is only at Walmart. The cashier was being real cool but when she saw the price difference she called a manager. He kept saying he wasn't going to do it, offered me $30 and I declined, he went back to look at the ToysRus website I guess, came back and was like I shouldn't do this, and then he approved it.

Where are you price matching with a website? Toysrus.com doesn't list any of these games

I'm so ing elated Best Buy went through. I mean a couple minutes or sooner and I would have been sol. I think tomorrow I'll go 10 min before closing to grab $10 Mass Effect and try and grab another $10 Diablo. Maybe trade one of the folks in the other thread SC2.

That's almost pointless now. Was for me.

Search "pc game" instead of the game themselves

oh and filter it under the price tag under 10 on the left

The problem is that the procedure would assign the key to my account. Well, I already have Skyrim. I needed this key to give to a friend that lives some distance away. I'd need Steam to assign the key as a gift in my inventory. Maybe they could do that if I asked, but it just seems like something that would get screwed up. Would prefer to just get my $10 back from TRU. I went ahead and just bought a Skyrim key off of Greenmangaming for $27 (after coupon) and used that one to give to my friend since I had already gotten his hopes up, lol. So if I got Steam to fix this the way I need it would just be trade fodder.
