Well apperantly the disc drive in my family's 80gb ps3 ate a disc which we needed so me and my stepdad went to best buy to return it since it was under warranty. The ps3 was bought from there a year ago for $400 and when we returned it they offered a FULL REFUND. So we leveled up and got 40 more gigs of memory with the $300 Ps3 slim 120 gig. It took 2 hours of waiting, transfering my saves onto a flashdrive and have about 7 people say that they couldnt get the disc out. Eventually the manager managed to somehow disasemble it and get the disc out ( Despite some employes saying they weren't autherized to do that. )
And while we waited i got my not lame stpedad interested in Dj hero so we got it. And since we got a ps3 slim the Dj hero technicly was $20 ( Hows that for a discount? ) And so overall I now have a really cool ps3 slim and Dj hero.

BestBuy has good return policies.

I purchased a DSi with the RocketFish starter set from them on the first day of release.
Several months later I heard about the residue problems that the RocketFish screen protector causes and contacted RocketFish to get information about the issue. RocketFish informed that they were aware of the problem and would resolve it in future products. OK, that wasn't really helpful. When pressed as to what I should do they referred me to the store where I purchased it.

When I contacted BestBuy about the potential problem, they listened, advised me to bring the unit in and allow their tech department to assist me in removing the screen protector. When I inquired to the person in tech service how they would proceed, he was honest and said that they would do their best but if they were unsuccessful and the screen sustained damage they would replace the unit.

Now THAT is standing behind your products and pretty good customer service, something that is all too rare today. That is why I go to BestBuy for my gaming and electronics needs.

    walmart all sold out
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    best buy is questionable... I can't get thru a line
  • TeconMoon @ TeconMoon:
    Pre-ordering was a bit nuts but I somehow got two orders lined up. Walmart went live early with a queue system that was actually extremely stable and I was able to snag one for shipping, no in-store pickup.

    Target.com went down immediately but the app was up for a little longer before going down and a couple of friends managed to snag pre-orders there, but it was $10 extra for release day shipping also with no local pickup.

    Don't give up on the Best Buy line! I waited for 35 minutes before the page automatically refreshed and asked me to re-login, I thought I was done for but after I re-logged back in it took me immediately to checkout with 10 minutes to complete the purchase.
  • TeconMoon @ TeconMoon:
    Best Buy local pickup is what I was going for so I'm glad it panned out. I had some rewards certificates waiting to be used and got some money back on my Best Buy credit card. Gotta get me that midnight pickup!
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    @TeconMoon walmart keeps going in and out of stock. I'm worried about ordering 1 more and having cancellation since I already ordered 1 tho
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    @TeconMoon I got booted out of the best buy line in one of my browsers dunno what's up with that
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    @TeconMoon what do you plan on doing with the 2nd unit? family member? resale?

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I think people are disliking the idea of jumping social media sites over politics
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Well, I do find that silly.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I don't care enough about social media to bother

  • NinStar @ NinStar:

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I try to explain social media is what you make of it but people always jump ship with hatred for politics based off it

    So is 4chan oh wait
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    @Skelletonike bluesky claims to be decentralized like mastodon, problem is that for some reason they decided to create their own protocol for that, I've not seen a single other instance using it
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Yeah, 4chan was a bit sus... Probability of finding a trap when clicking on something was... Too high.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Well... When it comes down to, it's all for money.
