February Micro Center deals
- Thread starter botticus
- Start date
I got SW: Empire at War today. I had lunch near Microcenter, and I convinced my coworker to come with me for "a quick trip, I know what I want already, I'll be in and out..." Alas, the box's sticker says $49.99 on it. I figure this is alright since the deal will be over in 4 days, so they didn't want to change all the stickers for the 4 day sale. But at the register, when they scan the box (Regular, not collector's) it'll come up as $49.99. Either they screwed up the inventory SKUs, or it's a scam. But they got a manager to mark it down from $49.99 to $39.99. $10 savings for about 10 minutes worth of hassle and pointing at adver-flyers, which is still worth it to me. Thanks botticus! This was in the Fairfax Microcenter.

gg microcenter, probably not good to reveal the location too.. The game is set on a Legal Binding Street date of Feb 16th. That can cause the company to get fined for thousands of dollars for each game that broke street date they sold.

i hate that microcenter. customer service is a joke as you can barely find help!...where the hell are the employees? then after they help answer a simple question for you, they put there sticker on your product so they get the credit, but of course before I get to the registar I take it off. I actually had two employees argue right in front of me on who helped me more when I was in the process of making a large purchase order a school county I worked at. I only go there when I think there is a good bargin coming up or some discounted software..i havent' been there in a month so i think it might be a good idea to pass by as I do a once a month trip.

For what it's worth, the only Micro Center in Michigan is usually amazing. Their clearance isn't as great as it once was, but they've still got great customer service and plenty of sales.
