Best Buy White Galaxy S3 Exclusivity

**decke003** · 07-09-2012, 01:51 PM

I was just curious if anyone had any idea how long Best Buy would have the "national retail exclusive" sale of the white version? I already have a $50 gift card from when I got my EVO, but I would really like double the savings with a price match from radio shack.

Yeah, the exclusivity seems to be limited to the Sprint version only. Currently only Sprint stores and Best Buys have the White version, but I would really like to save another $50 bucks on top of my $50 gift card by price matching Radio Shack.

Based on past exclusivity arrangements, it may only last a month, but I was hoping someone had heard something more concrete.

I dont blame you it might be for sprint crazy if it is though

You should still be able to get Best Buy to price match Radio Shack on the white S3. I got my white S3 last week Wednesday at Best Buy and they price matched Radio Shack. I just showed the guy Radio Shack’s pricing on my phone and that was good enough proof for him.

Yes I did the same thing and best buy did price match radio shack. I got a white S3 which was $199. Price matched $149. Traded my S2 for $150. So I made out like a fat rat. I just paid for a case and screen protector.

On Bestbuy.com, they have two Zagg choices. One looks like a standard one for $20.99 and the other looks like an HD one for $25.99.

I was thinking of getting the HD one if the screen would still look as good as it does without.

I had the hd one on my one x but since I have the ottterbox defender case which has a built in screen protector I just took the zagg off and around the house I have the case off and the screen does look better than it did with the hd on it. But not A LOT.

I already tried.... I spent 40 minutes there with my wife (the phone is for her), and we got all the way up to where I was handing the employee my credit card. His boss that came over asked if the price match was for the same color, and after calling Radio Shack again, they told me they would not be able to price match... My wife was very annoyed with the time we wasted, so I have been a little hesitant to just try a different Best Buy.

I would try a different Best Buy or even a different employee/manager. Their price match guarantee says they will price match on an identical item. If the White and Blue have the same model number, you could argue that they are identical.

Yeah it sucks but it does have to be the same color. Best buy price matched 149.99 target had the one x for but they made sure to verify it was the same color multiple times
