Someone mentioned they got it to work at the Fullerton store, but I mean at this point it doesn't seem to be worth the bother...

I scored the deal, w/ Frys PM, on 3/3/2013 @ Tustin, CA.

Quote from cmm324 : Worked for me, got two of them. I provided the cashier the printout of Fry's website.

I did this also, Manhattan, NYC. Kid at the register was so happy he asked to keep the paper so he could buy one for himself after work haha

Dont give them your paperwork, it may come back to haunt you or the next guy. Who knows y they ask or why he cant pull it up for himself. Unless you know/like the guy...dont give up your info. Managers seem to come up with creative policy rules...like u are required to submit a proof copy, vs cell

I did like him. He was just a kid, I don't think there was any ulterior motive. He just wanted a pad for himself. The manager still came over and overrid the price no problem.

Kool. I share my disney coupons with a geek squad friend and clerks but last year, customers at one bb location had strict rules beyond the policy and literary, nothing was without scrutiny. Dude, refuse manufacturers coupons because he didnt want to manual them in, therefore, all fake. We got him fired eventually. Enjoy you ps3...glad u succeded

On what number should I call to order by phone?

best buy's price matching policy is GREAT*












* unless you actually try to use it...


for extra frustration (and the loss of 30 mins to 1 hr of your life), try to get BB to PM an Amazon price that will only show up in the cart...

someone should create a Spin Wheel, with price match rejection reasons, this way the BB mgr can just spin the wheel and wherever it lands, that's why BB can't PM (up to and including why they can't PM their OWN WEBSITE)

Pretty much hope it don't break within 15 days of purchase can't return or exchange it.

Compared to some of the stories here, I guess my BB is great.
Never had a problem getting a PM (snagged 2 controllers), have been able to PM their own site everytime and a print-out of both amazon pages (listing+cart) has always worked for me when it says *price shown in cart* on Amazon.

I picked up two controllers over the weekend in the DFW area.

I tried going to the best buy at Arden in Sac. Walked to the ps3 section, notice ALL the controllers were sold out except a couple black ones and one pink one sitting on a different area. I'm think this might actually work by all the sold out controllers. I decided to grab the pink one walked the register and asked if the pm frys. I had the frys page on my phone but the clerk went on her computer to frys.com and searched ps3 dualshock 3 controller and clicked on the pink one. Listed price of $54. So I told her search for the black controller. She clicked on the one for $54. So I was like search for ps3 controller and click on the other listing for black contoller that was $19.99. I get the supervisor who told me that She couldnt do it because the item number didnt match even after I grabbed a black controller. She wouldnt budge. It HAD TO match to the same barcode number. So no go.

Im going to Print it out now and go to the one in elk grove.

The Frys link in OP isn't real. This is how Frys can screw over Best Buy; the UPC # and stuff on that link is fake, it doesn't exist. Frys is making Best Buy lose money like this.

I tried the same thing as well; I couldn't get the deal.
