Best Buy and almost all other retail stores that you physically walk into will never have as good prices as oline stores like TigerDirect. I almost never actually buy anything at Best Buy. I'll go "window shopping" though. The only things worth buying there are video game consoles because they're the same price EVERYWHERE, so it saves on shipping.

Hey it's not very foolish, It worked last year and the year before that. It was a good way to avoid waiting in those 1 to 2 hour lines. Also I bet I'm not the only one here who has ever hid anything so they can go back and legally purchase the item at a later time. But I do see your point, people do get streesd thats the whole reason for me hiding it in the first place. To avoid the strees of the long lines.

I know I've done it but maybe you could bring up a case against them if you're really pissed of at them. :wink:

The problem is that all business have the right to refuse customers for any reason. And since I have been warned, if I return I could get arrested for trespassing.

I bought an xbox memcard from best buy as new, and it came with a hacked game save on it (which i was going to put on anyways). They like to sell used things as new. Besides, a lot of the employees I have talked to in best buy are just sales personal, knowing hardly anything about specific products. Being banned isn't much of a loss to me.

just go back and loiter in the store while asking the employees the most annonying questions e.g. so can i use xbox conrtollers with my gameboy?, do you sell toothbrushes?, do you have a changing room?, my computer has a 500MHz processor, can i run Doom 3 even thought the requirement is much higher? Will it run?, can i play my Vinyl collection on a PS2?, can i play a bologna on the Gamecube, or will it break?, do you sell tennis machines?, ect . you get the idea.

when asked to leave, make a scene so as to scare the other customers away from the store. claim you are being innopropriatly touched if security tries to remove you :P then claim you did nothing wrong! (you didn't)

The stupid question police come in the night when no one is there to see them. They come and they swoop down in their low flying hellicopters and they take you to mars to lead a happy, slightly boring existance amonst all the other stupid question asking people.
