Best Buy rant (long)

That's pretty much spot on.

And it reminded me... remember when Best Buy got in trouble for having a separate Best Buy website that was only available from inside the store, looked identical to the real site, but had higher prices? Customers would tell the salesman that something was cheaper on the website than in the store, the clerk would go look it up, and the price would be the same.

Hah, I remember that. I also remember the scandal with the Nintendo Wii's, where they would present "the last one in the store" and parade it around and create a crazy mob for it, and then 2 hours later, present another "last one in the store".
