Who has the best price match and beat in Canada?

Was looking at getting a ipod 32 gig , found one for $279 , talked to visions and they said they will not beat that price or match it. They offered me the older generation model for the same price. Visions says they will beat the price by 5% . I even showed them the add , Kinda bummed me out. :mad:

Do you mean "ME" as in you? Or is ME short for a store ?

People get confused by price beats all the time. Stores don't beat the price by 5% or 10% OF THE PRICE, they beat it by 5% or 10% OF THE DIFFERENCE. This makes the price beat mostly irrelevant. IE if one store is selling something at $100 and the other at $150 the only difference between a 10% price beat and a 20% price beat is 5 bucks.

Sorry about that.

ME = Memory Express

I just took a quick look and unfortunately it looks like it's just accessories :(

Which is it?

If they will not beat the price by 5%, please advise what reason they gave. They will always beat a competitor's price by 5%.

Incorrect. Visions will beat the price by 5%. Have used it on many occasions.

If you're willing to, check out kijiji if its in your area. Apple warranty is based on its S/N and its in store. There are a lot of people selling cheap ipod touch 5th gen brand new for less the 280.

I bought a used ipod touch 4th gen with a cracked screen thinking I can pay someone to get it fixed, and it still had warranty. So they exchanged it for a brand new one.

FS/BB give you 10% off the difference. So if it's not available on ME, try with them.
