Blackwalt Coxxorzes Future Shop

It gets confusing, try to follow along

So if you follow the COXXORZ RANDOM DEAL OF THE DAY you will have noted Assassin's Creed 2 for $20 until Canada Day at Best Buy.

Now I had played Assassin's Creed 1 and kind of enjoyed it. But not enough to buy the game. Assassin's Creed 2 got stellar reviews and reportedly fixed all the issues with Assassin's Creed 1. This intrigued me, but not enough to pay the $69.99 price. Or even Future Shop's current price of $39.99.

$19.99 though? I was more than willing to spend $19.99 for a AAA list title. No problem.

So we traveled to Best Buy to find the $19.99 Assassin's Creed 2 and Coxxorz pointed out, as I had it in my hand, that Future Shop still has Assassin's Creed 2 listed at $39.99 and they have a price match plus 10% policy.

So off we trekked to Future Shop in the rain. The whole 60 feet. But it seemed further.

We found Assassin's Creed 2 for $39.99 and took it to the cash.

"Do you price match?"

"Yes"

So the cashier price matched. Exactly. To $19.99.

"Ummm.... Isn't it price match plus 10% of the difference?"

"Oh my god, I forgot to do the 10%. You'll have to go to customer service to fix that..."

So off we trekked to Future Shop Customer Service indoors. The whole 20 feet. But it seemed further.

Coxxorz: "I'll go get the car."

And to be fair, the customer service guy was pretty good and he fixed it.

"I gave you a couple of extra dollars off for your trouble" and handed over my game and my receipt.

When Coxxorz finaly drove back to get me I climbed into the car and told him I got some extra cash back.

"How much?"

"Let's look. Hey, they only charged me $14.98 for the game."

"Assassin's Creed 1 was $14.99 used! You just Coxxorzed Future Shop!"

is why you guys always post this stuff after you Coxxorz it, instead of letting other people in on the Coxxoring. What if some poor Vanier resident wanted AC2 for $14.99?

You can only expect to get it for $19.99 less $1.99 for the pricematch. Nobody knew the guy was going to be generous. Nobody knew they could be generous. The odds of anyone else replicating the exact circumstances required to get the game for that price are slim to none. Unless you can borrow Blackwalt's horseshoe.
