[Coach] Price Match deals on games
I have created a list of games that are priced much higher at Future Shop than at GameStop. I included the prices and links for each. Keep in mind that you need to check the stock for your Future Shop store(s). Future Shop's price match is complicated but here is how it works.
Take the Future Shop price (lets say $19.99) and subtract the competitor's price (lets say $9.89). 19.99-9.89 = $10.10. This is the 'Difference' between the prices.
Then we calculate 10% of the difference. To do that we multiply the difference by 0.10. 10.10*0.10 = $1.01. This is the amount by which Future Shop will beat the lower price.
So we take the lower price, $9.89, and subtract the amount by which Future Shop will beat the lower price. 9.89-1.01 = $8.88. This is the total price that Future Shop will charge.
Keep in mind that if the competitor does not have a local store, Future Shop will add on shipping costs. Future Shop may also call the local store of the competitor to verify the price or if it is in stock.
If anyone is looking for a reason to do this other than to get a good deal, keep in mind that Future Shop is one of the worst companies I have seen for not lowering the price on old products and old stock. They will keep products at an inflated price until the package turns yellow. I have seen it.....
Enjoy!
