[quote name='minos1067']Just picked up four at Norwalk, CA. They still had about 6 left; couldn't locate the $15 coupon. Does anybody know if this is a YMMV or is it an actual Sale? Guess we'll find out tomorrow when more people try to pick them up. UnFreakinBelievable. I was almost sad that I didn't pick one up on BF for $35.
Thanks OP, BigTyme!
BTW - I bought both packaging, OPs and the other one pictured.[/quote]
thanks i bought the last one an hour later. but it wasnt easy...
[quote name='Gotchaforce']i went in, asked if they could check stock on the sku and the girl instead leads me to their memory stick section where the regular blue ones are (the camera stuff) i ask her if theres a gaming memory card spot and she leads me to the last pair of these in a plastic container in the PS3 section. She's like we have these (in reference to the red transparent ones) but the ones i just showed you (the blue ones) are on sale for cheaper. I just keep telling her to check the price because i want the gaming version and eventually she does it going "oh its actually $20", then she checks the price over and over again to make sure its for real and another girl employee suddenly takes interest and says "$20?? for a 4 gig?". This other employee starts ringing me up and is scanning and scanning the MS and nothings happening. Finally she gets the one that initially helped me, they both get back to the customer service desk and shes scanning it and suddenly theyre all on "hold" explaining that when the inventory says zero and theres a hold that theyre for instore pickup customers. She kept saying alternatives like "i can check another store" (of course she looks and no other store has them) or "i can get you the other 4GB..... for $60". I argue for a minute or two that this doesnt really make sense im here right now, but just leave because the store was closing in 10 minutes and i decided in christmasy spirit or some horseshit that i would let this one go
If i had realized that what they were doing is refusing to sell me a product on their store shelves (this was NOT from the back) i probably would have gotten it with a talk to the manager but whatever. They had 4 memory sticks on hold, so whichever CAGers are in San Jose area it looks like you won due to circuit city's stupid policy.[/quote]
That happened to me too, but i put my foot down. I asked, "How is this sold already if im holding it in my hand?"
