You are very lucky that Best Buy took care of you the way they did. Some people get lucky when they don't really deserve to!
I wouldn't call it luck. It's a marketing strategy for Best Buy to entice customers to buy from them. If you knew that Best Buy will match a lower price, would you feel better buying from Best Buy or Newegg (or some place else)?
Fair and easy return policies also influence where I buy from. I haven't bought anything in years from Fry's because of their ridiculous return policies. Maybe that's changed now but I haven't been back to find out.
I love Fry's and Bestbuy. Those were my go to 'hangouts' on weekends. There is only one Fry's statewide where I live and I used to always go there on weekends. I usually return my item though, LOL. They're cheaper than best buy. Best buy is expensive I remember buying a $200 external portable HD and a $1000 humongous epson projector.
Ugh. Looking back wow I was able to spend THAT much from my paycheck AND living in my apartment on my own?
But yeah I usually buy online they're way cheaper but I really like Best buy's price match and adjustment policy. So I usually look for cheaper price online on what I want and pray best buy has it in their store so they can price match it. No more waiting for packages.
And just read your other posts. All I can say is this. I know my 'tech' stuff. If I REALLY want something techy to do. Like I said google is my BFF. Notice how I LOVE using google? I, in fact, have a black belt on google-fu. But VERY unimpressed with GH? Now that's saying something. If you still don't get my drift then well...
