Pricematching with CC or BB?
There is a PC game - Guild Wars Nightfalls which is listed as $29.99 if you order online at EBGames.com, but the EB stores sell them for 49.99.
Would I be able to get CircuitCity or BestBuy to pricematch this if I print out the website price and bring the printout to them?
(I could order it online, but would like to avoid the shipping costs)

Did you call or go to your local EBGames, and ask if they will price match their website? I look at the price drops every week on their website, and go in and will go in and get the games for the same price.

Brick and Mortar stores generally do not match internet prices. Having said that I never try to price match at "Best Buy" any longer as they are not interested in that type of business.

I found it strange that that they would have a different price between their B%M and online store.

On a B1G1 sale (a few months back) that was listed on their website, I hoped it was in-store too, but did not see any signs. As it turned out, they were backed up with alot in line and were diverting some to the Customer Service desk for checkout.
When I got there I asked the guy that I wanted to see if these 2 sets were B1G1, like on their website, since no store signs were accordingly. He said that if it is that way on the website we will match it here. As it turned out the B1G1 was also in-store, as they rang up that way.
So give it a shot. You will wish you did if you later find out they would've and you didn't. All they can say is no, but what if they say YES!
