so i was walking into the BX trying to look at some magazines when i decided to go to the video game section. well in front of it was the special discount cart or whatever that i always check to see for some good discounted electronics :) . well anyways to my surprise i happen to see a PS3 there. i begin to look around to see if this was a joke! so i look around the box and i find a 25% discount sticker. i still believe that this is not real and i ask the associate why this was 25% off. he opens the box and says theres nothing missing and doesnt know why it got discounted and that they have to honor the 25% because well it has the sticker on it and some other associate also said that it was a return. so the associate i was talking about said that if i didnt take it he would remove the 25% sticker and it would be full price (dont know if he could do that or how that works) but i decided to take it with me. anyways im at the checkout and the lady looks at me wierd cause she prolly think i put the sticker from other merchandise into this one. she had to call and verify. and then BAM 25% off and i walked away real happy...:cheer: but then once i got to my room i started unpacking it and checking the condition. to my surprise BRAND NEW!!! it even still had that new smell to it! so i hook it up and turn it on...no video and sound...at that moment im like WTF no wonder its 25% off...the unit turned on fine but i got no sound or video on my tv...i decide to try 1 more time.. i go to best buy and get me this HDMI cable and then i try it again....IT WORKS!!!! so now im about to get GT5 :headbang2:

well that was my exciting part of friday...lol

Had a similiar incident at our bx, was looking at camping gear. Saw a dome 5 person coleman tent for a decent price. Then i noticed a 20% off all coleman products tag!!! So here is a 99.95 tent plus 20% off. I was like SOLD! So i get to the register and it rings up at 159.95. I said wait, blah blah blah. After all said and done they messed up and I got my tent for 75 and some change! Damn near half price. I was happy

Nice! Yeah the PS3's are finicky, if the console is set to HDMI and you're not using the HDMI cable, you can't see crap. You got a great deal, thanks to someone else not doing their research! Lol
congrats!!
