Best Buy Now Price Matches Online Retailers

It's no secret that Best Buy is going through quite a bit of financial trouble -- the retailer is know as Amazon's showroom for a reason -- but it's looking to combat that with a new policy on price matching.

Effective immediately, you can take any Sunday ad to get a price match on your next video game, flat-screen TV, or anything else your little heart desires. Even better, with manager's approval on a case-by-case basis, Best Buy will also price match any online retailer.

Pretty cool if this is true. I usually buy from amazon when the price falls a couple weeks after release.

Wish I would have know last week. I ordered NCAA football from amazon because it fell to $45. Now I am holding up my friends dynasty league waiting for my copy I come (of course I chose the free shipping option to maximize my savings)

Not to rain on the parade but best buy has price matched online deals and stores for the last 4ys i have worked there its not new. We also do trade ins and give more then gamestop. We are also giving $20 off any new big title you pre-order

Ahh s*** son.... Now I can get my crap immediately instead of waiting for shipping.

@USMC

No they don't. Best Buy has never matched prices for online retail. They're doing now because they're on the verge of failing.

Until they fix their "customer service" issues, their decline will continue. These executives continue to ignore the elephant in the room. When you fire good people who were salaried and replace them with some minimum wage person who doesn't have any commitment to the company and customer you will set yourself up for disaster every time time.
Best Buy is an example of some of the most horrid experiences revolving around people who know nothing about the products and simply don't care.
Take care of the customer and the business will take care of itself.

Meh. Still don't like Best Buy enough to walk into one and shop. Amazon is Too amazing.
