If you think it's a ripoff don't buy it, or buy it and don't complain.
Here's a lesson in business:
Stores are here to make money.
They buy product from vendors. Such as the HIG deluxe edition. Best Buy paid the vendor about $21 for every copy of this cd. In order to make money, they have to charge MORE. Not less.
Best Buy is not a charity or a non-profit electronics store.
If you have consider it a ripoff that they want to make a measley $3 on each copy, maybe you should buy as many copies as you can, then turn around and sell them with no mark up.
Please, do it out of the kindness of your heart.
If you still think it's a rip off, why don't you go get Scotty boy on the phone and ask him why his vendors are charging so much for the deluxe edition to be sold to Best Buy.
I'm sure they took into consideration his drug habbits when determining the price.
lol
Yeah....I wish I could talk to customers like this every day.....lol
