Actually, I think it’s because stores are betting people don’t pay much attention to details. I see all these flyers plastered with things like:


DOORBUSTER!!
HUGE DEAL!
MEGA SAVINGS!!
QUANTITIES LIMITED!!

Yet if you look at the actual prices, they are hardly a deal.

I just saw on walmart.com they are promoting the fact that they have the “Guranateed lowest price” on Xbox 360 controllers.

Standard retail price for a controller: $39.99

Wal-Mart price: $39.96

Yes, a whole THREE FREAKIN CENTS! So while the ad is technically correct, it’s not any kind of deal, just a dumb pricing gimmick.

I’ve even been underwhelmed by the prices on Amazon.
