The very bottom says it can exclude special bundles.

Plasma>>>>>>>>>LCD. Black levels and no refresh time>the world.

If I had a local store with inventory, I would have made a big scene. It just so happens they didn't and I wasn't in their store first thing in the morning so I couldn't even bitch about bait and switch (legally, they can't advertise something and not have an item in stock). At this point, their online pricing has changed and I don't see there being a shot in hell to get this tomorrow. I still think it's bullshit that they kept the price up online for most of the day but then falsely made the Xboxs out of stock. ---- that.

There are plasmas and lcds with 1,000,000:1 contrast, and both with 120-160hz refresh.

---- them both. Laser is the new quality.



I'd wait and pay 7k for one of them over buying the top end LCD/Plasmas which still don't compare.

Tell them you placed a order and when clicked checkout the site went down and wouldn't come up for 4 hours then said out of stock. Keep pitching a bitch and they'll give you your way. All retail work the same, they don't want to **** a customer off. Just speak to a sup and keep going higher.

Just go to best buy and tell them you want to price match the deal. Print the circuit city ad from there website to prove it

A lot of places that price match won't match a promotional price, but it's worth a shot.

i might give that a shot, since i already printed it out to bring to circuit city (which didnt work, they had an "AD CORRECTION" sign up"



edit: it says right in best buys price match policy that they dont match "bundle" prices
