"We are sorry that we made our consumers think for just one minute that our price on electronics would actually be competitive. To make it up to you, we will offer $100 off all plasma TVs which will still end up priced hire than almost any retailer in the market. We will try and convince you though that you should not get a 720p tv and jump up to 1080p for real HD. We will make up stories on how it is better, but really we are just trying to get more money out of your pockets to pay our incredibly clueless sales and management team."This is incomplete. Need to add:

"Since we are giving you $100 off, we strongly recommend that you take that money and put it towards the purchase one of our over-priced, money in our pockets service plans. As a convenience to our customers, we will automaticlly add the most expensive service plan at time of purchase."

WHOA BUDDY- This is a withdrawal of a future offer!?!?

Difference here to the susposedly unintentional price mistakes retailers make to get folks in and then switch is it's been brought to their attention- they say it's "wrong", but they're going to publish it anyway. Definition of intentional fraud is knowing something is invalid and offering it anyway. Hope some states nail em on this- it's taking bait and switch to new levels.

Everyone needs to take a class in contract law and become an informed consumer. Even if this was an offer, they have rescinded it before it even became effective, and they have the right to do that. BB might be a crappy company that sells $25 USB cables to 80 year old ladies, but they're not doing anything illegal yet, and that's why we hate them.

Dude I am an expert in contract law and believe me it is illegal to publish an ad you admit in advance is invalid. You don't make the offer- ie withdraw the ad. BB does this toooo much for coincidence. "We're going to make a phony offer on our front page but the million people coming in for it will get a wonderful $100 off any of our plasmas that are priced hundreds over what others sell them for- we'll convince you once you're here!" BB is starting to stand for Big for Britches.

hey, don't knock the bestbuy reward zone program... i bought up quite a few of those bestbuy clearance laptops and ended up with over $200 in reward zone certs! add that to the $50 concession coupon they handed out for the Lenovo laptop fiasco and I was able to grab a Panasonic DMC-TZ3 digicam for almost nothing after a PM to CC AND Madden 08 for $10!

it beats the heck out of OD's crap rewards imo.

i'm sure there are some who like OD's rewards but i just hate the way you get zilch in the way of reward points on pc purchases.

I am sure their ads are printed in advanced by weeks to months. If someone didn't catch it, it's their fault.
