Tried to get my note 3 at best buy today, but walked out empty handed.

Walked in, saw my pre order note 3 with my name on it, but during the activation, errors popped up. The sprint guy on the other line talking to the best guy said that their activation servers are overloaded, and that I could have the phone but it might not activate until tomorrow. I couldn't take that chance so I will try again tomorrow. Did anyone else have that experience? Best buy guy said they had a lot of problems trying to activate the note 3 no matter if it was att or in my case, Sprint.

Same experience but I took it home anyway. This may be a good thing though. When you go back tell them Radio Shack has them for 299 and they might do a price check. They did for me anyway. I just showed the guy their website and he said shall do and gave it to me for $318 (after tax). Good luck.

What time did you go to try to get your phone activated? Radio Shack has it cheaper? Sweet, will have to check that out.

Do you have a link where it says 299 for the sprint version on radio shacks site? I couldn't find it.

I also got my Sprint Galaxy Note 3 from Best Buy today. I got it around 10:30am. I know something wasn't showing up in the system at first but after a few seconds, he got everything working properly. Not sure what it was or what wasn't showing up correctly but he got it straight. Walked out with my Note 3.

No issues at my local BB in Indianapolis. Kind of surprising, really. If there are issues I'm usually the guy with them.
 
Just left best buy in Gretna, LA. They can't do anything with sprint today and was not even sure about tomorrow. The guy told me that sprint was not even in his system at the time. I also went to Radio Shack, before best buy, and they had the phone in store for $299.99. They just didn't have any black ones in stock :(. Also, if you want to see the price online, click sprint ($349.99) and then on the right side select upgrade and it will show the $299.99 price.

Is that just for the white one? I just can't seem to find the 299 price on the radio Shack website.

Manny, if they won't do Radioshack, pull up Sam's Club price, it's the same. I just pulled it up on my phone. Then again, I used to work at the store I went to and am friends with everyone there, lol.

When I looked at Sams clubs site yesterday, I couldn't even find the phone. I Googled it and it said the note 3 is only sold in stores. So ibwent to my local store and they didn't even have it on display.

Damn this Sucks. The above link works on my pc, but when I do it on the phone, it redirects me to mobile version of the website and I can't find it there. Grrr...

Switch to desktop only view. That's what I had to do to get any of the links to show the deals. Finally found the 3 on Sam's by going through the categories.

I landed up taking a picture of the screen, but since it was an "online only" offer, they wouldn't price match.

Oh well.
