Best Buy $9.99 TV offer was too good to be true

Few if any of the deals retailers have offered online during the recession have been as good as Best Buy Inc.'s sale price of $9.99 on a 52-inch TV Wednesday. But it quickly turned out the offer was too good to be true.

The electronics retailer said it will not honor the $9.99 price posted Wednesday morning on its Web site for a 52-inch Samsung flat-screen TV. By early afternoon, the TV was listed at $1,799.99, almost half off the original $3,399.99 price.

Bloggers and Twitterers lit up the Internet with posts about the offer, some insisting Best Buy must honor it, others making jokes.

Best Buy, based in Richfield, Minn., said it has corrected an online pricing error and will not honor the incorrect price. Orders made Wednesday morning at the incorrect price will be canceled and customers will receive refunds, the company said.

Best Buy did not immediately return a call for additional comment.

Fry's does not price match stupid greedy b*stards. I found the exact same Airport Extreme on THEIR OWN INVENTORY LIST and on their website but the dumb clerk says we can't do that. I'm asking how others got away with getting the same thing for $60 less and it seems shes too dumb she just said sir, they are not the same. I showed her the web pages online and the specs were exactly the same. Even though they dont have the same inventory between retail and online, the item #s are all the same. I ended up paying the rest and I regret going thereafter. It seems the spaceship by the Burbank Airport that came for brains didn't find diddly squat.

Back on topic, they must honor the price since in their OWN policy they state that the customer cannot be overcharged for ANY REASON. They shot their stupid selves in the foot....and ppl say Geek Squad helped me out. Going to the store in West L.A., a Seagate worker came by and looked at these guys weird, yes he did.

Yeah, it's because Frys.com is managed by outpost.com and not by "Fry's", they just use the name. The Burbank store is not one of my favorites either. :/ They have some real stupid people working there. I personally love the one in the City of Industry, with the industrial revolution theme. They have a lot more competent workers there.

They should honor it, but if they don't its not a loss to me. :p

Speaking of stupid, I ask over the phone if I could UPS a return over and the idiot says no and adds extra crap besides getting to the point like "What the hell, you crazy boi?!?!?!" and I tell him I can't return it any way else because I'm busy throughout the time of the return days and I tell him I get in 1 hour rush hour traffic coming from the CircuitCity Hollywood areas. He says "Boi U Crazay!!! I take 20 minutes and get my ass over there from East L.A." I cussed out the little wannabe and hung up.

    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more

      By Talys · Posted

      I am not a fan of haptic feedback touchpads. I've owned a Surface Laptop 7 (Snapdragon) with one and a Lenovo Slim (Intel), and I hated both to the point where I purchased different laptops. It's not that they don't work most of the time; it's that they don't work 100% of the time, and there is no advantage from a user's perspective over a good mechanical trackpad like what's on a ThinkPad X1 or a Yoga 9i. I do not believe that I'll buy another haptic feedback touchpad laptop again in the near future.

      Works fine here too. About this build, I don't like to download any kind of Windows, from any site except Microsoft. The mod might work, but I don't know what it's inside. Can contain malware, backdoors... Long time ago I've used something like this but reversed - it was 98se with the look and some functionality  of XP. Or, later XP with Vista look. But I made it myself. Not downloaded from obscure sites.

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Rockstar is preparing to launch Grand Theft Auto VI later this year, but ahead of that, the company has revealed a new offer for some Grand Theft Auto V owners. It today announced that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version owners of the 2013-released title will soon be receiving a free upgrade to the current generation version. The studio released the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 version of Grand Theft Auto V back in 2022, bringing significant upgrades to the original console editions. This included 60 FPS gameplay at up to 4K resolution, as well as major upgrades to textures, draw distance, and audio. Faster load times, ray tracing elements, and HDR support were also added with it. While this new and enhanced version needed a new purchase of the game to jump in, now Rockstar has decided to make it a free upgrade, dropping the $40 price tag entirely on consoles. "Beginning tomorrow, those who own any PS4 version or the digital Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto V will be able to upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S versions at no additional cost, and experience the best versions of GTA V and GTA Online," said the company in an official blog post. The free upgrade offer will be released tomorrow, June 18, for all Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners of Grand Theft Auto V. Players who will be jumping in on the offer will want to check how to migrate their GTA Online profile from last-generation to current-generation consoles by heading over here. The offer lands ahead of The Kortz Center Heist hitting Grand Theft Auto Online, where players and crews will be tasked with stealing priceless international art from a prestigious gallery in Pacific Bluffs. It doesn't look like Rockstar plans to stop updating its previous game even with Grand Theft Auto VI being on the horizon. The latest title is slated to launch on November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
