[quote name='bojay1997']But let's be honest, the "lemon" rate for televisions is about 2% last I checked and I think of those failures, the vast majority are immediate failures right out of the box. The overwhelming majority of returns BB is getting is not because of defective merchandise, it's because of indecisive people or people making compulsive purchases and then returning them when they see their credit card statement or account balance at the end of the month. You can argue this all day, but what if the television goes bad in 31 days or 33 days? Have Best Buy and Target and Walmart lost all those customers as well?[/QUOTE]

no, but the main scenario is do you want the same price at both places, one with a longer return window, or put a little more work in, get a price match at best buy and get it for cheaper but still have a shorter return window. We'll see in the coming months how it shapes up. If so few people take advantage of price matching though, who do you think the majority would choose?

Except that long term, if they really get returns under control, they can simply offer lower prices on many items and more substantial discounts on weekly sales. That's why I think this policy may actually be a benefit to all of us.
 
[quote name='aircobra']I have no need to argue, I'm speaking from experience. I'm a silver member, so it wouldn't matter to me if it was 31 or 33 days. I have my reasons why I don't like the policy change, the biggest one being the PM stuff. So keep your numbers to yourself.[/QUOTE]

That's fine, but as I said, if you're someone that constantly PMs and is looking for $20 new release games, you're not a profitable customer, so losing your business won't hurt Best Buy and will instead shift your burden to another retailer until those retailers smarten up as well. Personally, I like the idea of having a store like BB around. Given the fact that Amazon rarely is price competitive anymore at launch and very rarely does gift card deals and stores like Target, Toys R Us and Walmart are lucky if they give a $5-$10 discount on newer games in the first few weeks, I'm perfectly happy with the new policy. Remember, to price match you actually have to have stores around that cut their prices on a regular basis. Less competition is bad for all of us.
 
[quote name='bojay1997']Meh, for the most part the people who do repeated price matches are not profitable customers. I don't think Best Buy is going to lose much with this change and frankly, they might actually become profitable and better able to serve the more reasonable customers who don't abuse policies and who have no need for 30+ day return policies and 30-60 days worth of price matches by offering better sale prices and everyday prices.[/QUOTE]

This assumes that the person has a 100% pm rate on low margin items, which is possible but unlikely. And I find your other statement to be akin to those that say game prices will go down if the secondary market is destroyed: naive at best, and laughable at worst.
 
Hey if it happens like that, that would be great, i just don't have faith any savings are going to be passed on to us, especially if this really is a problem of just dealing with those five percent of folks who are abusing the system or whatever small percent it is. I know it all adds up over time, but i think the savings they could pass on even if they chose to would be negligible in the big picture.

And to the above, I bet those people that get games for 20 bucks are a very small percentage and buy other things at best buy as well.

I know plenty of people here and elsewhere that only ever buy media items from BB and that PM on a weekly basis. In fact, with the exception of the WiiU console and maybe a 3DS, I don't think I've bought anything but games and Blu Rays from BB in about five years. Unlike the game publishers, BB actually has an incentive to be price competitive with other retailers. If they can provide good service, well stocked showrooms, good quality merchandise and lower prices, they will easily compete against other brick and mortar retailers and on-line retailers as well. They don't need to engage in foolish 30 or 60 day unlimited price matching and return policies that allow massive abuse to occur.
 
[quote name='Saix_XIII']Let's look at a scenario. Look at it from someone who is NOT a "smart" shopper such as ourselves. They go into Best Buy, ask the sales rep "I have $1,500...give me your best TV". The rep shows em around, they agree they want the TV for $1300+tax and away they go.

Three weeks later the TV starts having issues...the person doesn't know why one of the HDMI inputs on the TV doesn't work. They start looking into it online and see it is a common issue with this TV and they can send it in to be repaired but they notice it is just a common issue that can happen even after the repair. This may sound like an extreme case, but it happens more often then you would think.

The person still wants to get a great $1,500 TV so they box it back up and go to Best Buy to exchange it, not even return it. They are thinking "it's only been three weeks...it has to have 30 days...everyone else is 30 days." They go into the store and the store tells them "Sorry...it's past the return window". WHAT?! the customer thinks, it's only been 21 days and the TV is defective. They tell the CSR this and they are then informed that the return policy is actually 15 days now and the best they can do is tell them to call the manufacturer to set up a repair.

Do you honestly think this average customer will ever go back to Best Buy even if it's for a $15 movie when they can just go to Wal-Mart, Target and have either of those stores match Best Buy's price and give them at least a 30 day return window?

This reminds me of all the anti-piracy for software out there. The people who want to break the rules don't listen to the system, they work around the system, break it if need be. People who want to "rent" high priced items will find a way if they really want to. The average customer who just made a bad choice is the one who will be upset about this and take their business elsewhere.[/QUOTE]

How likely is that scenario?

Most electronics are either DOA or fail immedaitely. (This is why you dont buy extended warranties...)

Yeah, I might not LIKE my tv/pc/whatever after 20 days, but not because it failed. Do failures happen between day 15 and day 30? Sure. But that's a calculated risk.

Btw, as these last few pages appear to be some reasonable discussion, I hope the mods don't overmod and kill this discussion.
 
I'd say a scenario akin to that is at least as likely as the small amount of people who continually abuse the policies of best buy, if that makes sense the way I typed it out.

CAGs are always the exceptions and never the rules. And everything you describe is an ideal, one which they have, theoretically, been chasing since the rise of online shopping (along with every other store). I just don't realistically see how they would attain retailer nirvana just by denying 5% of their customers $15 back on a video game (potentially alienating them), while still accepting the iffy returns which got them here in the first place. Just doesn't make sense.

60% of the time it works everytime.

On a different (but familiar) topic, still looking for those DS3 bonus points. Other people here still missing their points too, right? My RZ history says the transaction date was 1/29/13, which would make this about day 31 since the purchase. Starting to get antsy, but I'll wait until Monday before I call.

But obviously it's not. Because if it was, Best Buy wouldn't change the policy.

Best Buy has failure rate data and return data. Simple enough to figure it out.

@Dunder - no points here.

Is it as likely as showrooming and "renting" products, of course not. But those are the people who abuse Best Buy. In fact I couldn't help but get annoyed last Sunday. I was in Best Buy trying to pre-order The Last of Us Survival Edition and also get a Dead Space 3 CE guide PMed to amazon's price.

At that time a customer walks over asks where mini-fridges are. Gaming rep gives him a general idea, a few minutes later the guy walks back and the gaming rep asks if he found them ok. The guy says "yeah but I am just gonna buy online, I just wanted to see what was out there" and the rep told them how BB matches online prices and the guy just kept walking.

Those are the types of customers who Best Buy dislikes, regardless of the policy BB has those customers will never shop smart.

This issue at hand is that upsetting an average customer who is not trying to abuse anything and happened to have one bad issue and will never shop there again because of it. Best Buy wants to weed out the negative customers, I will not fault them for this, I support them more than any other retailer and maybe tied with amazon. But this will affect the "good" customers far more than the "bad" ones IMO.

And honestly, those type of situations won't stop until the law catches up to Amazon and the like to force them to collect the tax at point of sale and not leave it up to the person.
 
[quote name='nuuuuj']Not to derail the discussion, but in reading the new policy, has anyone been able to make heads/tails of the "transition period" for Silvers until April 18.

http://consumerist.com/2013/02/15/b...ching-policy-change-with-low-price-guarantee/[/QUOTE]

Based on what I was told by a few Best Buy employees, don't take this as fact mind you, that if you are silver and buy something on April 17th you still have 60 day return and 60 day price match window.

Yup.

The after that you will only have the 15 day price match window but I assume the full 60 to return / exchange.

Well, if I'm reading that correctly, after April 18 Silver members will have the same 15 day price match policy as regular members. But it seems like until then we will have the old policy? Or maybe just 60 days to PM Best Buy only? I thought I understood at first, but as I'm typing it out I guess I don't, lol.

So essentially

- Before 4/18: BOTH 60 day return AND pm (including post purchase) to any retailer
- 4/18 and After: 60 day return. 15 day PM to BB only.

Correct?
 
I thought silver members had a 30 day pm window under the new policy, doubling what a regular customer would get, and a 30 day return window, also doubled. I dunno.

That's how I am interpreting it also, but my question is can we still PM other retailers post purchase up until 4/18?
 
ok... so that means im still down for buying all pre orders til 4/18?
i almost sat the rest of the spring out after getting disheartened about this change.
that and deadspace 3, mgr and crysis 3 are looking at me from the shrinkwrap saying, 'really?'

I don't get why this would change anyone's behavior. $20 credit on launch day is still going to the best deal out there. If you're butthurt about the loss of post-sale price match, were you even playing the game up front to begin with?

You missed the point. 1000 RZ and post-purchase PM is what drove a majority of CAGs to join unlocked in the first place. Getting a game on day one for essentially $40, playing it, and then still being able to PM for 30 days was the shit. Take Assassin's Creed III for example. 1000 RZ points and then a PM to Amazon allowed a lot of CAGs to own (and play) that game on day one for only $20. Same thing with Halo 4.
 
Just preordered God of War collector edition. GS is sold out. I renewed my unlocked as well. I hope they don't fully switch to digital magazine. No one at the store could tell me anything.

Like what nuuuj says, I used to exert my infinite patience to wait for games to drop below $10 in GF sales. Since GCU I was able to use PMs to play new games for $20, and considering a timely trade in or eBay dump, it is even sweeter. Now I'm just going back to my old ways. $40 + tax is still a lot of money, for 4-6 hours of entertainment. I agree it is still the best deal if you must play day 1 though.

I am pissed I didnt partake in the program last year. I would have loved to have Ass Creed 3 Day 1. Instead I am still waiting for it to be $20 straight up. Oh well. Live and learn.

If Silver has until April 18th before the policy changes I just may have to go preorder Tomb Raider this weekend.

$40 for day 1 is lil too rich for my blood, especially if it might just sit in backlog.
$20 for day 1 is a no brainer for me, especially if i knock it out and trade it in for more than i paid. that's crazy awesome. before i would wait til it was $20 new or used, but this way i get all the preorder goodies, the day 1 hotness, new game/online pass/limited goodies, etc plus higher tiv if i end up knocking it out. plus if it sits in backlog i won't feel too bad even if it drops to 20 msrp cuz thats what i paid for it and whatnot. but yeah, still a good deal, but i think you are doing it wrong if you only think this deal is only 20 off. for that matter go to amazon or new egg, but whatev. plus bestbuy cred burns holes in some of our pockets.

AC3 was a strange one for me last year. i preordered it, never picked it up, then got it black friday bestbuy for 30 or something. turns out they still considered it a preorder pickup and i got 1000 points. so $10 ac3, sat on it for 3 months, thought i was gonna get an ac3 500 gig ps3 bundle, traded it in at bestbuy for 33.60. still never opened it. doh. it's ubisoft, so cheap soon enough, plus i gotta do ac1,2,b,r,lol. cool story bro.

That simply isn't a model that any retailer can afford to pursue long-term. Best case scenario, Best Buy has a 20% margin on new release top tier games. They're giving you a $20 credit toward another purchase which, while not identical to cash, does have significant value and cost to BB depending on what you buy. To then turn around a month or two later and give you back a $20 refund based on some promo deal another retailer got from the publisher and which wasn't offered to BB is literally just taking not only the profit away completely, but also costing BB significant money. I'm sure many CAGs then traded in the game to either BB or another retailer and essentially made money on the deal. I get that you want the best of all worlds, but BB can't afford to give you $60 day one games for essentially $20 or less. I'm happy with the $20 cert and the day one price match.
 
Yeah, I mean you're prob right that it wasn't making them money, but at least for me it gotme doing a lot of shopping there and telling friends to shop there, buying big ticket items, made me join the gamers club, made me care about earning points, and generally made me care about best buy. I can't be the only one like this. Hell, I even started buying my instrument stuff there instead of guitar center because I always had a good reason to go!

Meh, oh well, I'm sure there will always be good deals out there, especially for people like us. I think this has been a very good discussion!
 
the 60 day return window is essentially the same as a 60 day pm window. But instead of PMing, they return and rebuy. Same result. Adds to your return stats I guess but unless you're abusing the shit out of returns, nothing to worry about.

(Silver members only)
 
In case this wasn't posted - the premium version of Bioshock Infinite is available online again. I pre-ordered the 360 version this morning.
 
[quote name='nuuuuj']Dont worry, they already announced Ass Creed 4, so 3 will drop soon enough. Plus as always... its a ubisoft title.

No really... they did. http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2013/02/28/ubisoft-hoists-assassins-creed-4s-black-flag/[/QUOTE]
Yeah I saw that they announced 4 the day after the poster was leaked. It seemed like most reviewers really liked the naval battles in 3, so I would assume they had 4 started while they finished 3 and when people liked the naval stuff they green lit 4. I personally think it could be really cool to play as a pirate assassin.

I can see Ubi dropping Ass Creed 3's MSRP to $20 soon.

The few times i've returned items beyond 30 days, i've noticed that the register states the ”item is out of the return period.” My store knows i'm Silver but the register requires a manager override to accept the return. Just something for other Silver members to keep in mind. I'm sure TRE (BB's third party return monitoring company) will pay close attention to these.

Premier Silver has to be on/in the receipt/transaction for the system to automatically recognize the 60 days. Especially important for price matching since their is no override option in the system for PMs past 30/60 days.

Reason I ask is because on 3/4 my GCU expires and figured I'd wait at least a week until Ascension 3/10-3/11 to re-order GoW Ascension.

Yeah, didn't come as much of a surprise that they are taking it to the maritimes.

Had them call corp and the lady was trying to make me buy the game over the phone and claims it will not arrive on release but a week later.........fuck that.[/QUOTE]

Damn i was gonna go preorder tonight. Online delivery is still an option.
 
[quote name='ITDEFX']has anyone tried to pre-order Tomb Raider 360 lately at best buy?

This happened to me when I preordered Crysis 3 the day before release. The problem was that the clerk tried to process the preorder as a regular transaction, he kept trying until another clerk told him to process it as a preorder then it went through. Give that a try if BBY is not too far from you, I myself will preorder tomorrow just in case I don't get a Steelbook copy from Target.
