Best Buy Manager Cons Xbox 360 Purchasers
KOIN News 6 of Portland, Oregon is reporting a Best Buy employee’s testimony concerning his store’s manager denying the sales of Xbox 360s unless an addition bundle of extraneous software was also purchased. According to the article, shoppers seeking to buy an Xbox 360 “were told the price would be different from what was advertised”. The manager allegedly told his employees that the advertised price ($299 or $399) was incorrect and that the real price would be several hundreds of dollars higher due to the forced addition of a software bundle to the mix.
The Best Buy employee who ratted out his boss only went by the alias “Chris”, who came forth because “Pretty much [...]I felt that what the company was doing was unfair, and I felt bad”. In response to these allegations, the Oregon Attorney General’s Office has opened a file on this debauchery.

Haha, dodgy guys. I still havent gone out to get one… am VERY tempted though!
The Xbox bundle issue is sad. My frustration with it is that the real people behind the comunication for store managers to do the bundling came from top level officials and to save their jobs they whacked store and district managers. Q: What happened to the regional managers? A: Nothing.
HAHAHAHA THIS IS NOT SUPRISING, I WORKED AT BEST BUY FOR OVER 3 YEARS AND I’VE SEEN A LOT WORST THATN THIS. WHICH IS WHY I AM A PROUD MEMBER OF BEST BUY SUKS GROUP : )
