I know the other retailers were just following price matching strategies...but I thought Walmart said the $449 price tag was an "official rollback". The other retailers going back up in price is fine. It was a promotional price. But that's kinda shitty of Walmart to officially rollback the price, then jack it back up. When they made it an official rollback, it was no longer "on sale".

Walmart rollbacks aren't permanent price drops. If you see a Rollback tag on a WM shelf, it will probably go back up. If you see an Everyday Low Price tag, it's a permanent price (until it drops more).

Yea, I just looked it up and that is the case. My bad. My understanding before was that a rollback was a price drop (as I haven't seen products go back up in price before) as opposed to being "on sale". If that's the case, I dunno why they had to make it "official" then, a week or so after it initially dropped to $450 (the phrasing was either a post I saw here or at my local walmart)
