Forums - Gaming Discussion - My terrible best buy experience

I went to Best Buy today to try and get the limited edition version of tales of versperia. I went in, and could not find it. I asked a person working in the store where it was, and he said it was sold out. He said the normal version was also sold out. He checked the computer system and said they were also sold out at bestbuy.com.

Dejected, I decided to buy the strategy guide and buy the game online. I had a $20 off coupon, and went to the register with my $20 strategy guide. The lady refused to sell it to me becuase the purcvhase had to be at least $20, and my purchase was $19.99 plus tax. I was so mad, I left the store without anything and drove home. I went to Amazon, and they had Tales of Vesperia limited edition in stock ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001E1BNZU/ref=s9sdps_c2_63_at1-rfc_g1-frt_p-3215_g1-3102_g3?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0QDB9NVWB5DD76PJ0X17&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=436516001&pf_rd_i=507846

)

along with the strategy guide for only $13 brand new. I don't think I am ever going to shop at best buy anymore. Amazon FTW!

haha, I've had problems with them too when I was looking for a copy of Tales of Vesperia. They said they didn't have anymore, but online it said they did.

But they still aren't on the bottom of my list. Here's the order I go to to get games:

Amazon
Best Buy
EB/Gamestop

Good job on getting the Limited Edition BTW

Amazon prices can't be beat, with no taxes and free shipping on orders $25+.  They also have a price match guarantee, like Best Buy. If anything you buy from them goes down in price at any time during the 30 days after the product is shipped you can request that difference back from them.

You won't be disappointed with your purchase. Tales of Vesperia is awesome game. It might make you fall in love with videogames again. n_n

Candy was horrendously overpriced. Gum was $1.09, and I knew I could buy it on amazon for at least $19.49, so I left. (turned out to be $13.54 on amazon)



I'm not really sure what your upset about. They sold out of the game, thats not exactly anything new. And as far as the coupon, thats pretty much standard procedure for the price of what you buy needing to exceed the value of the coupon. Coupons cant refund you tax. To say this was "terrible", honestly you just sound like your whining.

Why would that be? The best buy near my home has some of the worst customer service ever. I had to fight a employee to grab Tales of Vesperia from the stock room, he told me they didn't have it. So I went home, ordered it online, did in store pick up, and they just happened to have it ready.

Best Buy is terrible. I do not shop there out of principle.

I NEVER find what I'm looking for, and it's always cheaper on Amazon anyway.

Sales actually count for something on Amazon.

DOWN with Best Buy.... they stink because they are RUINING the game industry almost as much as Gamestop.

Gamestop is literally raping the industry, and they need to be put down like an old dog......
