Anyone else notice any bait and switch activities at Best Buy?
My brother-in-law was number 25 in line at our Best Buy. They said they were getting 26 Premium systems, but when he got his ticket they told him that they old only got 22 Premiums. They then told him that you couldn't just purchase a core system. You had to get a bundle consisting of the core system, another wired controller, a memory card, and two games. It was $499.99 + tax. I could be wrong, but that sounds like a bait and switch to me. Best Buy wasn't advertising bundles. The price seems about right, but what if you didn't want all that? I'm beginning to really dislike Best Buy.Mario Kart Wii: 1203 9969 5095

No problems like that at the BB I went to...he got taken.
The main problem at the BB I went to was they told people for a week they had 56 and then they only handed out tickets for 48. They told us they really only had 52 but were holding 4 until Friday. They claimed it was something MS made them do. -

Best Buy is a big company and one store can be honest while the next can make Best Buy look like the most corrupt organization ever. It all depends on the managers and how they train/motivate their employees.Comment

It is against our company policy to do that. We are not allowed to force a sale on anyone. @ 373, my store, we got sixty of em 48 prem, 12 core and everything went well.Comment

The Best Buy that I waited at was bouncing around numbers all night. I think they were doing it just to have people wait in line. They were saying anywhere from 50 to 100. But when it all was said and done, they had 53 and I was #54. Made me a bit mad, but I have a premium preordered at EB that should be in next week and I'd much rather have that then the core I would have gotten if I would have actually gotten a system last night.Vice President of the Devils' DenComment

There was about 50 people outside my local Best Buy this morning, when I went to pick my system up from EB, trying to get an Xbox 360. They were supposed to get 30-40 premium packages, but they ended up only getting 10! They then sold the first 6 to their employes.Go Noles!!! >>----->Comment

Re: Anyone else notice any bait and switch activities at Best Buy?
My brother told me he didn't even want the extra wired controller or the memory card either. I told him to take them back. His receipt has them down as separate items, not as one bundle sale. Also, their ad for this week has the core system right on the front for $299. Says nothing about bundles. On top of that, it wasn't even wrapped together in plastic. They told people to just go around the store and get the different parts of the bundle and put them in their basket. lol.. Best Buy sucks.Mario Kart Wii: 1203 9969 5095
