As a valued Best Buy customer, we want to inform you of an error that will appear in the September 23, 2007 Best BuyTM ad. On the front cover we mistakenly listed the price of the 50" Panasonic Plasma TV (TH_50PZ77U- 8501711) at $1709, after $90 savings. We intended to advertise the 42" Panasonic Plasma TV (TH-42PZ77U-8501757) at $1709, after $90 savings.
Best Buy will not be honoring this price on the aforementioned 50" Panasonic Plasma TV.
We apologize for any inconvenience, and we will offer a $100 Instant Rebate on all Plasma Televisions from Sunday, September 23, 2007 through Saturday, September 29, 2007. This Instant Rebate will be deducted from the price you see in the store, including our regular sale prices.
Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to seeing you in our store soon.

"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."
Best Buy needs to get hit for deceptive practices like KB Toys did (although the "hit" ended up being nothing more than a sale for them.. they probably made money on it...) I personally believe they do this stuff on purpose to generate traffic.

Well sure, it's great. Ripped you off once, and THEN apologize by inviting you to come buy something from them. They've been using this tactic ever since the GeForce 3Ti product release preorder scam; Maybe sooner.
I love how you people expect them to give you a TV for free otherwise they're a ripoff. They made a printing error, they could simply tell you "shove off, we're not honoring that", they could simply pull all of those TVs off the shelves and tell you they're out of them and not honoring rain checks, or they can say "sorry, our mistake, but we'll give you $100 off any Plasma".
None of you were in any way harmed by their error, so get over yourselves about being victimized by their "deceptive practices"

Couldn't agree more, BUT BEST BUY SUCKS ANYWAY like the previous poster mentioned

I think the 'take home' message here is that this isn't the first time they've done this or similar events... yes accidents happen. Accidents happening frequently, people begin questioning motives. That is all these people are saying, that and expressing yet more frustration for a retailer that doesn't seem to respect their customers (that is based on years of interaction with BB and simply on this printing mistake).

you forgot the overpriced monster cables or the like.... that they try to sell you
like last time i heard this BB guy selling a 25 dollars USB cable to this old poor lady.... oh man they have no soul!
So if I buy this advertised Plasma at Circuit City today can I still use my CitiBank rewards card to pricematch to WorseBuy next week ? I may give it a go.
fake ads and now no monopoly game!! guess getting rid of many ccities and CompUSA's is going to their heads! they are now the MONOPOLY AND OWN THE SPACE!
How do you suggest I redeem this. They still have that 42" Hitachi Plasma for 979 (same as Circuit City). I'm figuring out the best way to stack coupons and discover/ebates Cash Back (it sucks that the AAA coupon won't work online for CC, though I'm thinking I could get it in person, though I'd like to confirm it in MD before I drive to tax free DE)
