:roll:

They almost definitely were referring to Sonic Colours.

I don't know why I'm bothering to say this though, it's the same old conversation that you never truly listen to.

I believe that at least 90% on the people on the forums had your same "ability"...

My brother wants New Super Mario Bros. U for Christmas.

I went to Target - $60. Didn't want to pay that much.

Went to Target's website. $45. Paid with a credit card and chose in-store pickup. Got an email half an hour later saying it was ready.

When I picked it up at the service desk I asked if it had simply been pulled off the shelf. The answer was yes. So yeah, I saved $15 by ordering it online. :shock:

Yeah, you can do that at Best Buy too. It makes no sense really.

Supposedly though, if I had actually gone into Target with the online price printed out they wouldn't have price-matched it...

That's actually pretty common as a lot of stores do this.

I fail to see the marketing strategy behind this practice.

I don't know how it is for other stores, but for RadioShack I was told at a meeting that the online store is actually ran by a third-party. The reason why price matching isn't done is because the website is considered an "online retailer" and RadioShack doesn't price match against online retailers.

The school life in Bully is so much better than any real school.
