Yes it been on reddit for 5 days. https://old.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitchDeals/comments/ac9tio/microcenterbestbuy_price_match_us_splatoon_2_2457/This has been on Reddit for at least 2 days. Expect this to get shut down sometime relatively soon. Theres a simple technical reason that this is happening, and they should be able to fix it.
Makes sense. You're probably right it will be taken down eventually.This is great info, for sure. Thanks, Keisu. I'm just trying to express the urgency that people need if they want to score this.
Yup. I'm a programmer, too. Now I might want to scrape all of microcenter to see what other mistakes they have hahaI make sites for a living, their app is pulling from the metadata on Microcenter and the Metadata on Microcenter is wrong. I don't expect microcenter to correct it, but bestbuy may stop it.
I'd like to know this too. I'm from the . midwestIs this working at non-microcenter area stores/online?
I am in colorado. Just go to best buy and follow the steps I provided. And they will match it for you.I'd like to know this too. I'm from the . midwest
Why would an employee listen to a customer telling them to follow these weird instructionsI am in colorado. Just go to best buy and follow the steps I provided. And they will match it for you.
Lol, this is kind of what I'm thinking too. Power to those who swing it, though!Why would an employee listen to a customer telling them to follow these weird instructions
So you want someone drive to bestbuy, purchase the game for you, then drive home, pack it up, drive and ship it out? To a complete stranger no less, and also they will risk a chargeback from, and you’ll reimburse them for the cost of the game and shipping?If anyone can get me one I’ll paypal or venmo the cost and shipping charge.
Cause I am not shit at talking to people?
Hey I say this, is it true? Could you look at it for me?
It's actually worked before on this site and I've done it for another person on this site, I'd make sure if someone did it they didn't lose money. Some people are willing to help others. Thanks for the input though!So you want someone drive to bestbuy, purchase the game for you, then drive home, pack it up, drive and ship it out?

Not only is it a complete waste of time for that someone, but they’ll actually be losing money.
Hate to say it, but asking people to “pick one up for me” isn’t going to happen these days.
In my line of work we say "cheap for a reason"then i remembered i was on cheapassgamer and it all made sense.
Did not work for me. I asked them to look up Microcenter and it wasn't showing as a competitor, so your area must have one at least in the state by my assumption. Would have been good to know before wasting my time.Is this working at non-microcenter area stores/online?
I like to think of these YMMV deals in this context:Did not work for me. I asked them to look up Microcenter and it wasn't showing as a competitor, so your area must have one at least in the state by my assumption. Would have been good to know before wasting my time.
So I don't have a Microcenter in my area. The CSC person initially told me they do pm microcenter and was able to find the price in the app. But she needed a manager override, who denied me due to Microcenter not shipping to Hawaii.Is this working at non-microcenter area stores/online?
I have a Micro Center 55 miles away, so it’s closish. The woman helping me hadn’t heard of Micro Center but luckily she didn’t try to find it on her phone. I think this deal will require a manager since more than half off.So I don't have a Microcenter in my area.

Does this always require a override? I feel like this manager was being strict. But I dont wanna waste time trying again.
This may work for other items and stores are out of an item. Can’t be 75% off since people were denied the $4.99 3DS because of system limits.I'm curious if this would work for other clearance items that Microcenter carried but are OOS.
This an error on in the meta data on the website. Best Buy’s Core Blue pulls from websites meta data. This deal is in store only and YMMV since it requires a manager override.I live close to micro centre I couldn't find splatoon 2 on their website.
Or simply having the correct information ahead of time would save me the effort. This was not presented as YMMV.I like to think of these YMMV deals in this context:
(Potential Savings * Probability of Success) > (Opportunity Cost)
If True, then try the YMMV deal; if not, then skip it.
Agreed it wasn't presented as YMMV, but I'm of the opinion that all price matches are YMMV.Or simply having the correct information ahead of time would save me the effort. This was not presented as YMMV.
You could preorder it back on Dec 3 when Amazon and Walmart were getting in pricing war going back fort and worth cents at a time. It ended up at $46.91. It got delivered today around 3pm. I wish Best Buy price matched preorders but they don’t so they lost the sale.There's a similar thing going on with Super Mario Bros Deluxe for Switch. Amazon UK has a listing on amazon.com for around $46. I was able to price match via chat for in-store pickup.
Yeah good point, but I have a lot of reward points, so I burned them on this.You could preorder it back on Dec 3 when Amazon and Walmart were getting in pricing war going back fort and worth cents at a time.
