Nintendo DSi~Black Friday Deals????

[Stitch76]

Thank you, thank, thank you for sharing! Our RadioShack didn't have any but my husband asked them to print a register price quote. I took the website printout & the price quote to WalMart. They originally said they couldn't match the price since it wasn't from an actual printed ad. I patiently & politely worked my way up through several levels of management until they finally matched the price. The employees were really nice & patient (it took about 45 minutes from start to finish) and seemed genuinely happy when they finally got permission to give me that price on my TWO DSis. I'm so excited I almost can't wait until Christmas to give them to my boys!

I'm so grateful for this thread!!!

AWESOME!! It feels so good to pay it forward, especially at this time of year!!!

Another option for a good DSi deal, although nowhere near as good as the RadioShack one, is GameStop on Black Friday. It looks like they're going to have refurbished ones for $99.

I tried printing out the page from Radio Shack on Friday and took it to our Walmart. I wasn't so lucky. Two employees told me they don't price match for on-line items. When I insisted on speaking with a manager, he told me the same thing. He finally took my paper and scurried off. When he came back, he had found in VERY small print that it was an "on line" price. I argued that it wasn't but it was there in black and white. So..I didn't get it! I was so mad!!
I am happy for the ones that did!

I called my closest Radio Shack today, and they didn't have any - BUT, the very kind employee told me they could request them from another store and have them shipped to my house - for free!

I'm heading up there when my DH gets home, and I'll let you know if it works!

Like a previous poster, I get the cheapest one I can find, and then just buy a sleeve for it. I got my son a white one from Target last year for $88 - and a $12 Mario sticker sleeve This would be even cheaper than that!

It will work don't lose hope. Ok I went today taking the online print out to one Walmart. They did not honor it. But then I went to a Radio Shack. The manager there was super nice. Informed me that this was a store price, but they did not have any in stock nor did any store locally have one in stock. But he said based on Walmarts policies they should honor the price match. He gave me his card with his phone number. I then went immediately to another Walmart store. The manager of electronics said this is an online price. I said no and explained that I had just been to radio shack and spoke to the manager. She called him. She agreed to match it. But she left for lunch and cashier had to get a CSM . They did not want to match it. She had to call other manager. Took some time and patiently waiting. BUT I got a DSi for 79.57 when walmarts price was 149.99. I am so excited. I love these boards. Thank you thank you thank you AWESOME YOU ALL ROCK

I was unsuccessful. Radio Shack didn't have any anywhere - so they couldn't have them shipped to the store for me. I'm still looking.

Well..I found a radio shack with the black Dsi in stock using the link..made the trip to get it. Got to the check out and they rang it up and it rang up at 149.98. The clerk informed me that they did not match internet pricing (even though it showed in stores only?)and that they were a franchise store, not a corporate store so that I could call corporate but it wouldn't do any good. I left pretty frustrated. She also told me that they were already marked down below cost. Apparently because they were marked down a penny? (From $149.99 to $149.98) LOL

You all are awesome!!!!!!!!

I will post my details later (my dh has been waiting for me to get back and watch a show) but just know that I was able to get 2 DS's at our walmart for that price!!!!! It took a lot of pushing, but I got it! In the end, they knew that they had no other choice but to honor it...the 2nd mgr even said so. Keep trying! I'll give you all details later, as they might be helpful...I had a lot of rebuttles to their "arguements."

 

[mookie]

Ps...just wanted to say thanks to all of you for the heads up on this deal!

 

[kimkoz]

Please share. My DH is going tonight to try. I'm hoping we're lucky, this would help on the budget big time.

I went to my nearest Radio Shack and they did not have any, nor did any in the area. They said they are not carrying black ones anymore. I then took my papers from the website to walmart where I was successful. I did not try to get any color but black and had no problem. Thank you so much for this great deal!

 

[kimkoz]

Thank you so much. We got it at Walmart. My DH was there for an hour but it all paid off and they matched the price. His biggest battle was the time frame of Radio Shack's sale price. They kept trying to say it was a BF deal but DH just pulled up the website on his phone and said if this was a BF deal the price would not be on the companies website now..

Good luck to everyone.

Anyone have any luck in MA or RI?

It just worked for me at Walmart in Concord NC (across from Concord Mills). No problem whatsoever. THANKS to the Diser who posted this!!

 

[kimkoz]

I don't think the link is dead, it must be something with thier site because I can't get on that all together. Was trying to help a friend in VT but we are both having trouble with the site. Hopefully its back up soon for you.

Link showed one in stk at a town somewhat close by. I printed the ad & the page showing in stock to local Walmart for price match. They called RS to verify ad just before finishing my purchase only to be told by RS employee it was last year's sale, they didn't have any in stock (even though web shows they do) & that it was a very old model that you probably would not find anywhere. So then they canceled it & wouldn't price match.

that is odd, because when I got Wal-Mart to price match for me, they checked the model number on the box to make sure it was the correct one. I would try again in another Wal-Mart, and see if you can have better luck.

Also I was the one who posted the link, and I found the page by just going to the Radio Shack page, and typing in DSi, it was right there. If it was last years ad, I think they would have taken it down by now.

FOR EVERYONE TRYING TO FIND THE PAGE WITHOUT A LINK, TO SHOW THAT IT IS A CURRENT SALE

go to RadioShack.com, type DSi in the search bar, when the DSi products come up, click on Clearance on the left hand side of the screen, and it will take you straight to the page that I posted the link to.

My DH just picked up two at Walmart and they matched the price-no questions asked! Thank you so much for posting this info! I will have two very happy little girls at Christmas because of it.
