Flam1ngFir3ball Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 You should be able to get that deal if you go in to a store. Most of the home theater reps recommend the ps3 for the blu-ray player rather than a standard "dumb" player. All the promotions in the past have included the ps3 as a blu-ray player. Also the 5 free movies rebate included the ps3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lothodon Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 here's the scoop. asked the employee, they had no idea and very politely called over the manager. he also had no idea but asked me if he could take the coupon in the office and check on it. i appreciate that he asked me that way. came back and grabbed a ps3 and asked if i would head to the register with him to try it. no go. i thanked him for trying and nicely offered to return the item to the shelf for him. he thanked me and apologized for not being able to offer it. i understood. i put back the other items i was going to get (ps3 stuff) and was about to leave when he walked up and asked me if 10% would do it. i politely declined saying that the "possible" price increase would be enough incentive to wait. thanks anyway i said, and he quickly replied, what the heck, and gave it to me at 20% off! i am very glad i went in as my ps3 is now downloading a system update.

CactuzJak Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 That's damn nice, makes me wish I had such a coupon when I bought the 80 gig one just yesterday, oh the savings I could've had! Oh well, still happy with my purchase :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3thal Veteran Posted January 27, 2008 Veteran Share Posted January 27, 2008 This goes to show one thing: when you present yourself in a professional manner and you do not become an ass when you get a negative answer, things will get accomplished. I work 1-2 times a week at Best Buy as a "side job" and customer's will almost always get the benefit of the doubt if they are understanding and present themselves in a polite fashion. The only time you see someone complain how Best Buy sucks is when they were asses and demanded to get something done. You do not demand, you ask and work it out with the employee and managers. Congrats on your new PS3 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
