Thanks for the pricing, but why not put all the CompUSA pricing in one thread, so we don't have to go to 4 different threads to see it?

imp66, to answer your question:

A) because the poster was only posting info about Harry Potter, not CompUSA.

B) not separating out the deal on HP means another place that someone searching for info on Azkaban has to look to find the best deal on that title.

I think this post would've been appropriate...IF it was in one of the 2 Azkaban threads that already exist:

Thread 1

Thread 2

The search is your friend.

BTW, the pricing knowledge is good, but doesn't appear in the CompUSA flyer. For those of us who like to PM to BB or CC, this doesn't work.

However, on the PM side, it appears that Harry Potter is also listed at $12.99 at the Good Guys as well and theirs does appear on their weekly flyer.

It was in the CompUSA flyer that I saw, the top middle of page 2 I think.

Compusa's website shows it in being in the newspaper ad. I also notice that the sale ends on Tuesday 11/23. So it is only on sale for 1 day.

I was referring to the fact that he started 3 threads about CompUSA pricing....

Thread one
Thread two
...and this thread.

imp66: I see your point. I didn't notice until later that he was making separate posts for different items in the same Compusa ad. No hard feelings intended.

Damn, I swear I looked at that ad like 4-5 times for it and didn't see it. But there it is...I must be going blind in my old age.

Why buy Harry Potter when you can get a great deal on Elf?

TRU still PMs so they should PM it for you esp. since it's clearly marked at $12.99 and not Hot Price or Low Price or something like that.

I think I got The Sorcerer's Stone from them one Thanksgiving, but it was $9.99 and they didn't have any Widescreen.

Nice deal.
Got myself 2, with plenty still left on the shelves.

Price on the package was $22.99.
No indication anywhere that today's price was $10 less.

Sure am glad I read this forum or I'd never have found this out.
Thanks!

I price matched at Walmart where they had a 5"x7" spiral bound blank notepad as a free premium. They didn't give me any static about CompUSA not including the notepad.

Can we say price match at Best Buy? Yes we can.
They didn't see it coming.
