i am referring only to the vita memory cards. retailers receive the majority of the markup on those. sony did this to ensure that retailers would carry the vita, games, and accessories.

i was able to add it to my card this morning. i did have to hit the "show more offers" button at the bottom, and then the sony offer was the last one listed. i bought the 32gb card and the vita cradle. the total with taxes was $107 and i got the amex sync thank you email shortly after placing...

Go here, choose the facebook option and eventually you should be able to add the sony offer to your card. https://sync.americanexpress.com/

The prices will not drop that drastically due to the fact that the majority of the markup goes to the retailer not Sony. Any discounts will occur on a retailer by retailer basis, since the price drops reduce the profit they make.

Sony did not do what they did to rip off consumers, they did it so the Vita would survive in the marketplace. Two separate things happening here... #1: They switched to proprietary memory cards to prevent piracy on the Vita. Piracy was rampant on the PSP. The proprietary cards plus the...

i was able to get one. initially the page said out of stock, but i kept refreshing and eventually it came back in stock and i quickly went through the checkout process. I just got a shipping notice a few hours ago. i needed the game and an extra set of controllers. i guess i'll have an extra...

What TRU deal is this?

You don't have to bring any ads to get Best Buy to refund you the difference. They don't need their own ad to verify the price drop. They scan the item to get their own store price. You just bring your receipt, tell them the price dropped, they scan your receipt which looks up the item price and...

Why don't you just go and buy it now at Best Buy and get the difference back on or after the 12th? I guess i t might be that you don't have enough money to front until the price changes.

As far as we know, there will be no SKU change.that makes sense since this was not a price drop that seemed to have been planned far in advance.

If you didn't want the 20 free games, you could have just waited to buy it on the 12th (the 3ds is in no danger of being out of stock). If you do want the 20 free games then you will need to connect to the eshop before the 12th. If that is the case, you should return the 3DS to walmart, and...

The price drop will not involve a new SKU so Target is still a go. All you do is bring your receipt to customer service and say that the price dropped. They will scan the receipt, they will scan the item, and the computer will figure the difference. You'll get it back the way you paid. I did...

I just picked one up earlier today and the Best Buy associate already knew about this and reminded me to come back after the 12th to get a price adjustment. Target shouldn't give you any trouble either. There is not going to be a different SKU, so no issues there. Target's price adjust period...

oh i wish....

You need to place the order then call them. If you call them about an hour after you place the order, they will be able to change the total for the order, rather than issuing a refund. That is what happened the two times i had to call. They will not do anything until you have placed an order...
