Being as this price was still on the website, I took a printout and got mine PMd at Best Buy with no problems! (my CC order hadn't shipped yet and I was able to cancel it)
For those interested, Circuit City now has a new policy where all store prices will match all online prices (found out at work today). A lot of customers were preferring to shop online due to cheaper prices. That will not be a problem anymore.
For reference, this is taken from a letter from the CC CEO on the website:
"You will benefit from our One Price Promise. Whether you shop in one of our stores, online, or by phone, you will always get the same low price* and the protection of our Unbeatable Price Guarantee"
Pretty amazing it took them that long, really. Price was at $49.99 since the beginning of September. I guess they didn't get that many pre-orders to raise a flag, until people started coming into the store yesterday for it.
You guys might want to check in store for this too. I went to Circuit City yesterday hoping to price match the website's price, but I didn't have to because the store's copies were priced at $49.99 too.
I just came back from my local circuit city and they had RB2 price tagged at $49.99.
However, when I went to go pay...it rang up as 64.83.
I noted the price on the cover and they obviously did not want to grant the price.
Then he says that it must have been a sale price....and then I shoot back that the game was just released yesterday on the ps3...so I guess the sale still applies..
he gave in and sold it to me at $49.99
You may encounter some hesitation on their part but you may still be able to score RB2 for $49.99. I would hurry before they change the prices.
They had a new Rock Band 1 Drum kit for 360 for 29.99. The tag on the shelf was marked this way, I asked for a price check and it scanned as the same. The clerk looked suprised, I've seen them now for $49 (sale) a few places but this is by far the lowest I have found.
Trying to put a cheap rock band/guitar hero kit together, so far have found:
Rock Band 1 mic - 9.99 Gamestop, used
Rock Band 1 drums - 29.99 CC
I am now debating between buying a used or new guitar. Best guitar deals I have found, so far:
Les Paul Wireless GHIII - 39.74 Wal Mart
Xplorer wired + GHII - 39.99 Circuit City
I believe RedOctane.com has a deal that includes two wireless Xplorers plus GH WT for 79.99 but with discount and free shipping it comes to 59.99. Not bad.
