I'd do this. No shame at all. It's not like Sony will miss the money. I guarantee you only a handful of individuals in the world are doing it in the first place. There only losing out on a few thousand dollars, which is pennies to them.

What about the associates at the store who are screwed out of a bonus because their store didn't meet the shrink reduction and profitability targets only because there are deceitful customers and they can't do anything about it? I'm sure that the few hundred extra dollars they are missing out on per quarter because somebody doesn't want to play fairly in the market and would rather commit what sums up to fraud  (if they intentionally know the ad is fake) isn't pennies to them. 

That's not my responsibility. That's theirs. they can do something about it. They don't have to Match the price if they are suspicious. I won't feel bad for them. Don't work at Walmart then.

Then you ruin it for all the other consumers who want online price-matching. I'm sure you don't feel remorseful, but do understand this isn't a victimless crime. And the victims aren't some CEO's or an abstract entity called a corporation. It's real people who lose out. I personally think people who know an ad is fake and still go to the store trying to use that ad should be sued for fraud. Just as if I went to a store with a product I bought (or even stole) from another store and tried to return it I would be sued for fraud. The burden isn't solely on the seller to make sure the truth is told in a transaction. That isn't how either natural law or the artifical state-based law work. Just so you understand.
