I think it depends on the retailer and maybe even the particular store. I think last year my CC wouldn't PM at all, and my BB would price match everything but the early doorbuster deals.

Circuit City won't PM doorbusters. Saturday and Sunday, probably.

I've successfully pricematched at Walmart on BF before (with the Target ad in hand). I've only tried it on dvd's though.

Pricematched a DVD at Best Buy last year that was a better deal at CompUsa, but Walmart wouldn't match same sale.

So it's all up to the stores in your area what they do.

CC told me that they aren't price matching anything today. Incidentally, they also aren't honoring some of the prices in their own ad as I discovered after I finally got to one of the two open registers. Service is state of the art, indeed.

I couldn't get BB to PM anything today...didn't really matter to me (although its always fun trying) since the BB, CC, TG, & WM stores were all within pissin' distance of each other where I was shopping today. (Evansville, IN)

I bought S1, S2, S3 of a series earlier in the week. CC had them for almost $30/set less in their ad. When I went in Sat (day after Black Friday), BB would only Price Match S3. Unfortunate Store Policy is if the advertised item is "IN STOCK" at the other store, then you get the 110% difference. So went home & bought them from CC web-site with free shipping. Would have liked the extra 10% ($3) off, but at least I got that on S3. Great empoyee, great attitude, willing to help, but bad store policy. Also, heard another employee at service counter calling ABC wharehouse for another customer's price match. ABC will not give stock or price information over the phone, so the employee had to send them away w/o the PM. YMMMV

I bought a GPS earlier this month at CC and now its $100 less during their two day sale. I'm going later today to see if the adjust their price since it's within 30 days. I knew they wouldnt adjust door busters, but I hope they do it for a two day sale.

Best Buy gave me trouble on SATURDAY afternoon when I tried to get $4 back for Rescue Me S2 and S3 (had just bought earlier this week at $16.99, their Fri/Sat ad had at $14.99). The customer service person said they weren't doing any pricematches all weekend because of doorbusters. I said, "these aren't doorbusters, what do those deals have to do with this sale?". He just rolled his eyes and gave me the $4.

I would have just as easily rebought (they had plenty in stock) and returned with the old receipt, but i'm glad I don't get this kind of customer service at the BB i usually go to...yeeeshh.
