Quote from jsh4 : Will Frys price match if there is no Microcenter within 100+ miles?

Fry's Price Matches any online competitor , no 100 mile garbage there...
and this is exactly what the Paypal Price Match function was made for as I received an email this last week advertising
this same scenario from either Paypal or TigerDirect promoting it.

I thought for frys the item had to be available to ship at the store you're trying to PM to and not just "store pick up only".

How is this the first I've heard about this? Does Microcenter still have $50 off any z77 motherboard when you buy a CPU?

Quote from pHelics : Not everybody has a MC or Fry's around. This sounds like a good deal, but there are a few questions with this though. The Paypal promo states And the MC ad, while good, saying that It also says on the ad page So ... my questions are, limited availability should disqualify the 3rd gen Intel Core line from the promotion, or no? Second, In Store only, I don't really think it matters, since they match any price, in store / online. But still ... Thoughts?

Yea from what I'm reading I'm wondering that myself.. No MC within like 10 hours of me.. Although... The AD has the processor listed 2x, one on like page 2-5 does NOT say limited availability. Not sure if that could get you past that or not...

Although... On another side note the regular 2nd Gen Processors are NOT Limited Availability and you could probably use this on them I would think.Either way whatever the outcome please post here so we can know I would be VERY curios to know for sure!

Yes, they do, you can see all combos eligible for the discount here Microcenter November Special [microcenter.com] and then when you both products to the cart, the total should reflect the discount. Worked yesterday for me.

That is true, on that page doesn't show Limited Availability. Anyway, I bought the 3770k from newegg last night for full price (best "deal" around lol ) and I'll give it a try with PayPal, see how it goes.

LOL, at the abuse claims, I did this with Newegg for the 3770k

Did you use Microcenters pricepoint to compare it with ? If so, did it already go through and everything?

Has anyone tried this yet? I need one of these processors one way or another for my new computer and I missed all the black Friday deals thanks to work, always sold out by the time i got home.

I'll buy you a chip from microcenter if you pay for the price + tax and shipping

Quote from jsh4 : Will Frys price match if there is no Microcenter within 100+ miles?

Depends on the Manager. I've heard of some success but I know 100% that the Renton, WA Fry's will not price match MC. Heck, they wouldn't even pricematch the 2600k on NCIX because they're "The Canadian Store" even though I showed the manager that they had offices in the US and a US storefront. *facepalm*

If I didn't get in on the Tiger Direct deal from CM, I would have taken you up on that last week.

Quote from Dalkor : I just applied. I got the 3770K for 250$ @ tigerdirect which was a killer deal anyway. Wish me luck!

I tried it on the 3570K and they refused it. Let us know if works out for you.

How long did it take for you to hear back?

Yes, provided all the info which is a lot with screenshots and all and its marked as complete. Paypal just said it could take a few weeks to get the loot with the amount of PM's they've had entered lol.
