In your case, they should since it's a game. I don't think either FS nor BB will drop the price of consoles further after matching a competitor price (they did raise it over MSRP to begin with). Profits on consoles are slim enough as it is, no point in making it worse. Afterall, they more likely give you an extra 10% 'if they feel like it', at least from what I experienced.
And just trade in a stack of games (plus a console) to get a PS3. 299$ is NOT a bad price for a set top box.
