  • just because of 7 dollars? Wow, you are cheap.

  • i have a 400Gb cap and i always go over....

  • omg stop yelling chris , you'll wake next door up.

  • maybe they meant routers?

  • DEATH TO BEST BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • They Tried to sell me a gold plated HDMI cable

  • @TheiTechCast Since gold dosen't tarnish the connection should be more stable than connectors that oxidize.

  • Its $7... why is he getting so annoyed?

  • @HaywardJack It's not just the money. It's about how they threatened him!

  • @HaywardJack first of all best buy are the one who were promoting this so why not stick to it?

  • LOL!!

  • This wasn't BesBuy's problem, it was the stupid moron on the checkout who couldn't do her job properly. You should have read the list yourself and pointed her towards the networking part on the list. Also why didn't you take it back and point this out to them and they would have resolved it?

  • Best Buy just called. They said they're really sorry. If it's any consolation, you get 10% off your next purchase of ink cartridges :D

  • You're not the only one. before I was computer educated, I brought in my laptop and asked for ram. He examined the laptop and gave me ram, I tried to put it in later, and then it WAS THE WRONG RAM. I took it back and he didn't believe me! "For $50 we'll install it for you" Oh da le, I Returned it right there! Eventually I got the right ram for $50 CHEAPER INSTALLING IT MYSELF. Not to mention, once he gave me the wrong graphics card for my desktop which didn't fit in the motherboard AT ALL.

  • I would so throw the thing over the desk and demand my money back and point it out to them, it says NETWORKING AND IT'S A MODEM IT'S NETWORKING.

  • I had best buy give me a discount on a show that still had the sign up the deal was over they are a good place to shop

  • OMG Chis Pirillo is CHUCK!

  • Best Buy Pissed Me off Many of times . they rip a new one on Return

    I had to Return a Camera in witch it had huge Scratch on lens in witch why Return it . Price was 120$ they told me i could not get another since there scratch on it . they would have to give me my money back but keep 10% since it was Scratch . that whole reason for Returning it I end up walk out with less money 105$ i got back . they ripped me off . i contacted corporate about it they laughs at me . they robbed me

  • Office Depot does carry the same item if you wanted to get it elsewhere.

  • most bestbuy employees dont know shit

  • I bought my first ps3 from bestbuy but it broke a few days later and then i went to return it and the gaming "pro" told me i cannot exchange it because they dont have the EXACT package in stock so i need to refund it all and loose around 100 dollars in saving just because they dont want to give me a non-bundled ps3. After a bit of cursing and yelling i got what i wanted but it shouldnt have been that hard.

  • @master1321 you know what's bad is bestbuy isn't alone in that practice.

  • Wow, now I cant hear in my right ear, THANKS

  • Shame you didn't see the words 'networking' in the store when you were buying it! I would have got the manager.

  • Best Buy always tries this crap, i'm sick of it!

  • Who the hell shops at Best Buy any more?

  • Best Buy always plays games like this,I hate buying anything from Best Buy,and we all know Best Buy is going to give you free stuff now unlike the rest of us. S California.

  • Comment removed

  • thank god for amazon and newegg. Not sure why anyone would shop at bestbuy unless they absolutely need it RIGHT now. Even then, you are better off with other retailers.

  • @QualityQman I have a friend who buys things at Best Buy when he needs them RIGHT NOW... then he goes home and orders it online and once the one he ordered comes in, he returns the Best Buy one for a refund. Have your cake and eat it too :)

  • well done i hope they did contact you.

  • did u take it back?!

  • every on watch this pls /watch?v=eO0fAsxd2rY and thumb up so eery one can see this

  • it's a scam for sure i know this video is old but get your self a Motorola SB6120 SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 eXtreme Broadband Cable Modem they work great i've had no issues at all and i can reboot mine remotely from upstairs all the way 2 the basement thru 2 routers wich is pretty cool on ip 192.168.100.1

    ez does when shit fails truth prevails ^^^

  • I love hearing Chris yell. It makes me fearful, then I laugh.

  • Bah for 7 bucks, keep it. Covers shipping from online store anyways. Just don't go there anymore. Shop online (like Newegg) from now on. I feel like there's less ripoffs online than through big brand stores.

  • @lhuser this is true and you can realy shop around think about it your limited @ a store you can only buy what they have i worked @ ups for a while and saw packages coming thru in 2000

    Let me tell everyone something overtime the only store your gonna have besides food and car repair and what not is online because you have the hole planet when you shop online #consumption

  • Return it for $7 lol its like 3 minutes of working wage lol

  • @REPOMAN24722 You earn $140/hr? Jealous.

  • @TRichards66 $43/h from next month onwards.

  • Never buy computer parts at Best Buy, or Futureshop.. The vast majority of the times you are being ripped off.. If you actually go to a computer store such as NCIX or the equivalent you will save loads of money.. In some cases you literally save %50 or more on computer parts..

  • I would have returned it.

  • This isn't nerd rage, this is rage in general. lol

  • We called to complain, and the store manager said...sorry, we won't pick it up...it requires more than one person to pick it up. We said "well then come pick up the TV we just bought...They said "OK, then you will need to pay a restocking fee." I will never shop here again. Their staff are morons, and their advertising is borderline illegal and fraudulent.

  • We got an add from them in our local paper. "free pickup of old TV when you buy a new Flatscreen over $2000" so we have an old, huge, tv upstairs that we said...awesome. So we go to the store, we show him the add, which says nowhere on there that there is a size or location limit, and we go buy a TV. We ask the sales rep when we show im the add, if picking up our old 64 incher is going to be a a problem. They said "oh no, no big deal". Guess what...they left it...this company is fraudulent.

  • I hate Best Buy too. All they really care about is getting your money, they don't really care about the customer all that much.

  • Best buy Geek Squad got caught scamming. /watch?v=vZq4UnkgZQI

  • I really sidestep best buy. I use newegg.com and use the free shipping options. A lot of times they have what I need but avoid getting cables from. The shipping is far more for these small items. I pretty lucky to have a fry's electronics nearby but beware their salesmen are not very knowledgeable. It's better to know what you want and side step the sales staff. I would return the modem and find some more reliable and honest. Just my 2.

  • i understand you're upset but you're totally over reacting!

  • @lBugslBunny Nerds need to rage once in a while.... Let it happen...

  • I refuse to pick up anything at Best Buy. Pretty much the exact same thing happened to me; same basic 10% off offer. It was for a Targus cooling mat. I bought the newer version of the mat at NewEgg for $9... amazingly, the price that Best Buy should have offered to me.

    I know it's already exceeded the return policy if you kept it, but I would have returned it. Thanks for reading my rant, I hope it wasn't too confusing! :D

  • This is exactly why I buy almost everything from Newegg these days. They actually value customers, and make sure they're treated right. With the plethora of great information from communities like Lockergnome, it's very easy to make informed purchases online. Companies like BestBuy have to alter their business models if they wish to stay relevant. If not, we're fine moving on without them. That's what's so fantastic about a free market economy.

  • i hate bestbuy. all i buy r dvds, and theirs r over priced and they dont carry many dvds anymore that i want. which r popular shows. but 2 years ago i bought a camera, in a year it broke. they refund my money in a gift card. didnt want a damn gift card. so then i bought a new camera well 5 months later that broke. so they r like we cant refund ur money and u have to call the camera company. so the company said take it to geeksquad for them to fix. well they couldnt and gave me a gift card. grrr

  • FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK BEST BUY... THIS IS AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOON!!! (i know it takes longer, but still, i have experienced stuff like that on other retail "electronics" storesss)

  • Why do you shop at Best Buy when they shafted you during your employment with them? I'd never return there!

  • FUCK BESTBUY

  • I went with my girlfriend to buy her a laptop at Best Buy when she went away with school. They offered her all the usual warranty stuff, virus scanner installation etc. pointless money suckers. She bought the extended warranty and they promised a second charger and battery after the 14-day return period if they came back in and asked for one. Needless to say they didn't give her what they promised. And thats only the latest issue... I can't stand Best Buy. Never had a good experience there.

  • im pretty sure hes jewish

  • Jesus Christ man its your own fault, if youve got a problem with the price you had to pay you should have known your facts about the 10% off voucher and argued the toss at the counter not pay for it anyway and then rage when you get home

  • Gosh...

  • Thats probably why they've pretty much if not fully withdrawn from the UK lol

  • Take it back and they'll stick you for a restocking fee too. I haven't shopped there in years and won't again. Is it any wonder they are slowly going bankrupt? Order if from: Newegg, B&H or Amazon, much better systems.

  • "What's wrong Baby.." - ..........I just came

  • Best Buy charged me $100 for a gpu which I later found NEW on amazon for $55 and then when i tried to take it back the said that i couldn't because I didnt buy some warranty.

  • @aczajka74 were you passed the 30day return policy? if so then 2bad.

  • That's a very bright garage you have there.

  • I found a marked down price on the best buy website and it was also an in store deal... they tried to convince us it was a mistake and sell us a more expensive model. We called the best buy main office and asked to get it for a cheaper price. 3 hours later we finally got it for a cheaper price. Anyways.... I was mad. Everything is about money -_-

  • Have you met AVGN? I feel like you would get along.

  • Oh chris, Those are small issues compared to my Frys experience. I was ripped off 300 dollars and could'nt return a fried hp laptop. So I had to sell it on craigslist with a bunch of my other crap I had laying around in my room. I feel ya!

  • they did this to my laptop screen its acer the laptop screen is part gone half of it is gone and they wont fix it 1 year warranty I have and still they wont fix it!!!! they said they would fix it for 400$ the laptop cost 400$ and it was not my fault

  • i think im death from NNNEEETTTWWOORRKKIINNGG when beats are on full vol.. :P

  • BestBuy is a complete joke. I never Buy shit from there

  • YOUTUBE FOR RON PAUL

  • Lol, best buy told you to hold that shit.

  • I will do that too, they did not get me $10 off, because a price was $99.99 and they coupon said after $100 or more,...chess!@

  • if the only port on this modem is a NETWORKING PORT

    funniest thing Ive heard today

  • NETWORKING!

  • You know Chris I went to Bestbuy to buy an iPod Touch. This one employee "helped" me out, I asked him "I'm looking for an iPod touch" and he said to me in an unhappy mood "Well what type of iPod Touch are you looking for" sooo I said to my self geee is this guy always like this or did he put some extra hours into his shift. So I told I'm looking for an 8GB iPod touch. ALL HE DID WAS SHAKE HIS HEAD AND WALKED AWAY. I GOT PIST OFF WITH HIS SHITY ATTITUDE THAT JUST A BUNCH OF BULL SHIT .

  • I''m so going to steal your Lady!

  • @2:52 Diana, how are your ears? ;-)

    Jokes aside though, I would have gone back.

  • I am never shopping at best buy

    one of the reason for this is your video, and second I am Australian and we have good stores such as JB HI FI.

  • @BJplusMilo21 Holy shit JB Hifi has grown and inproved. I've been living in US for past few years. Came back this Aust summer first time had time to stay a long time. Dropped into JB hifi looking for music, shit now they do computer tech and very well. Wow.

  • jb is the best place... best buy is shit

  • That internet speed ._. the most we get in our are is 7 down .8 up

  • 100 down, 10 up? Damn, I pay around the same as you and I get 4 down .5 up, damn third world....

  • I feel bad for the camera holder taking the brunt of your frustration. lol Well not really taking the brunt, but "feeling it" nvm it sounds like I'm accusing you of yelling at her when I'm not X.x

  • I work for best buy. My co-workers do that ALL the time! If the computer says no they don't doubt check! I'm not a customer and it pisses me off. He is wrong about the Black Tie Protection though. It actually is very good to get. Most of the time we refund or replace with basically no questions asked besides "Is it broken?". But then again I work at the only store in the area with 4/5 star customer service the rest are about 2/5

  • Return it, buy from newegg or somether awesome store.

  • @debtrix

    there are best buys in the UK?

    i have never seen one here as long as i have lived here. thought it was an american thing.

  • @nwlloyd13 There was but they closed down there stores wasn't working out for them

  • @nwlloyd13 Yeah there were a few stores. Owned by Carphone Warehouse.

  • My only guess is maybe your item was already on sale?...I tried using one of those coupons to buy stuff that was already on sale & they wouldn't honor both the coupon & sale price.

  • I've been waiting 5 days for a game I ordered at best buy after receiving an email that said it would take 45 minutes or less to receive a second email to go in and pick it up now how the he'll does it take 5 days to get a game ready after they received it.

  • This is actually funny did you send best buy this video? I would send it to them until i get a legitimate response from them.

  • Goodbye Bestbuy, Hello Amazon/NewEgg

  • TAKE IT BACK

  • Surely if you worked for Best Buy, you would be able to talk to someone higher up than a checkout worker. This doesn't happen where I'm from...

  • microcenter

    

  • whoa buddy calm down no need to scream

  • I got a 50$ gift card at best buy but I love future shop its better but hey the gift card can be only used there

  • Best Buy is a JOKE around here,

  • Best Buy sucks, as a customer and even more when your an employee.

    I have a huge list of places that would out do them on price and quality.

    Easy return/exchange hidden in their prices. And yes the Squad sucks even more.

  • @therecordfable Let me fix it for you: "Best Buy is a joke."

  • I agree with you man, and to all you people responding with "It's only $7" then you are totally missing the point. $7 here, $5 to the next customer, $15 to someone else multiplied by all their customers who get hosed is a LOT of money that Best Buy is ripping its loyal customers off in an economy which quite frankly sucks. I Bet you anything that this guy could use that $7 discount that he SHOULD have gotten much more then Best Buy needs it anyhow. Best Buy is the one that printed the coupon!

  • Wanna see the latest wide spread Best Buy fiasco? Simply take a look at the "Gamers Zone" forums on the Best Buy reward zone customer service link! They were promoting a HUGE "Buy 5 games, get $100" promo for pre-ordering and buying Xbox 360 and PS3 games this fall, but are failing to deliver their end of the promise. They seduced me into the deal and now looks like I'm gonna be screwed out of $100 as well. :-(

  • Sorry not the customer service link, but rather the COMMUNITY FORUMS link found at the bottom of the Reward Zone site. It's a mad house of nothing but page after page of angry customers who are failing to get their promised $100 certificate even after waiting the proper 35 days past their last game purchase and having all the proof in receipts. Calling their customer service # is a total joke as well, where they either transfer you or put you on hold forever until you hang up!

  • If networking is on there then that product is part of the 10% OFF

  • GET YOUR 10%

  • Best Buy is only good for window shopping (looking around at the cool stuff). Other than that, I've learned never to do business with them, let alone work for them. I've had horrible experiences from both. I still go look around in their stores, but it's not exactly the utopia it appears to be.

  • Your Girlfriends Voice (♥.♥)

  • ok well if you stop this video at 0:49 u can see that 10% off coupon offer expired the same day this video was uploaded.....ugh i cant wait till i finish school this year to gtfo of best buy...

  • you should complain to either the store or headquarters. i got 150 gift card when i didnt get 10% off of a universal remote which was like $10. sold the card on craigslist and got cash worked in my favor

  • ........ Small things like that outrage you enough to you yelling?........ woooooow. have fun getting an ulcer, it will happen soon enough.

  • dude, it's 7 fucking dollars. it would of cost you 7 bucks for shipping online anyways. and i bet you that 7 dollars that if you would of talked to a manager or a PC associate we would of honored the coupon as long as it wasn't on sale, i speak out of experience cause i work there, and some of the people they hire as cashiers are stupid as hell

  • o and by the way best buy or any business would definitely prefer not to have your whining ass in their store anyway...theyll do fine without you

  • your fucking retarded... number one it doesn't work on sale products, which that modem prob was. also even if it doesnt apply to the modem then it doesnt apply. its fucking dickhead customers like you that bitch over stuff like that which make this world such a shitty place.

    

  • 7 dollars is 7 dollars you wouldn't have 100 if you only have 93 dollars. I only go to best buy to window shop and do my actual purchase over the internet. No point of buying overpriced items and deal with incompetent sales person. Bring your business else where.

  • Best Buy suck!

  • @alexhortdog

    He'd just spend over the 7 bucks on gas

  • @alexhortdog95 Well let's see how happy u would be if they did that to you. And why would he. He'd probably spend more on the gas.

  • So, let me ask you...

    Instead of whining and complaing in your Garage - did you take it back to Best Buy and tell them you were unhappy?

    Did you give them a chance to rectify the problem? If not, stop blowing smoke up our holes, go to the store like and adult, and stop throwing a temper tantrum.

    I purchased a portable projector screen and had to talk with a manager in a polite, understanding tone. Once we saw what was going on, I got a new screen and 2 bucks in store credit. Just Sayin.

  • Best Buy is just fucked up.

  • $7 isn't a lot, but I see what you're saying Chris.. It's networking - and it should have been counted as Networking. Take it somewhere else. :P

    Newegg is pretty good.

  • crap i went into the best buy to put a ps3 on layaway cause i read on the website that it meet the standards for best buy but they would not let me put on layaway and they would not give me reason why i could not the girl was moron and i will be take my business else where too. best buy is rip off company they dont care about their customers.

  • Return it. 

  • "Best Buy" is just a marketing attempt at fooling you it is a real BEST buy.

  • shut up you nerd your video made me never watch another one of your videos again. everyone knows best buy rips you off

  • The point of this video was not the $7.oo people.  Its that fact that Best Buy doesn't keep to their word. Also the fact that it happens all the time to a wide variety of people, and Chris included that are constant customers bringing in enormous revenue and Best Buy cannot even be honest and keep to their word with the same people that keep it open. :/

  • Dude i work at best buy and i totally agree with you that it counts as networking but usually if you point that out to a manager, they override the price and manually discount 10%. I would've done it for you man :/

  • ROFL 7 buck bro

  • Comment removed

  • Geez Best Buy fucked up this time lol

  • Best Buy is great for ripping people off. They will take your restore cd's and then charge you $100 + to make the cd's or will leave them in the box and charge you to make them anyway. They say (you do not get restore cd's with this new computer but we can make you some for $100) This is what they said to a friend of mine twice and both times the system came with a Windows dvd and driver cd.

  • Yeah this is why I hate best buy. I was surprised to see chris was a best buy fan before.

  • Chris, buddy, you need to calm down. Not getting a 10% discount is hardly a "nightmare," Maybe it's just the insane amount of money I spend at Best Buy (I could be Premier SIlver several times over most years) but my experience is that their customer service is SUPER!

  • I used to live and buy at Best Buy, but after being ripped off several times... along with less than stellar customer service in multiple locations.. I have taken my business elsewhere. and will never give them one plug nickle of my money ever again... they can go scratch ass!!!

  • Comment removed

  • She sounds hot

  • Best buy does this crap all the time.

  • Chris, trust me, your NOT alone on this one. Matter of fact, just recently I made a trip to Best Buy which was one of my weekly doses of electronic goodness. Well I decided why not buy a new blu ray title. First off , I spend more money there then I do for college (exaggeration just a little). So, I tend to get my Silver Reward coupons and 10% or 12% discounts. I went to the counter, used my coupon, and noticed not only did I not save money, but the girl took my coupon!? What?!? >.<

  • But, the bad part is is they don't explicitly tell you on the coupon "Hey! This coupon only works on older releases!!! Not new ones!"

  • Yeah... Return it and record you conversation. That will be great to watch.

  • hey mate, i work at a Australian electrical retail store. I understand where your coming from. Everyday i work i try my hardest to please every single the customer that walks through that door. But everyone is human and makes mistakes, no matter how hard they try. Best thing you could of done is return to the store ask them about it. and 9/10 they should fix them problem and apologize.

  • Call them...

  • I totally agree, Best Buy toots my whistles too. Go back in there, the cashier was probably wrong, and talk to Customer Service, point out that it says Networking. and Bam. They should be able to credit you $7, no worries. If it's like Target, they should be able to override the system, it's wrong sometimes.

  • man his chick sounded like a barbie

  • @Thesniped13 lmao

  • Cheap Pirillo!

  • What a prick

  • That's just retarted how that worked. I've always had a wonderful experience with Best Buy, hmm.

  • "Best Buy > Computers & Tablets > Networking > DSL & Cable Modems and Gateways > Product Info " - The product information on the best buy website claims to be networking product.

  • At least you didn't scream at the clerk from the register.. she probably isn't proficient on everything in the store.. The system denied it, like you stated.. once again, posted link to Best Buy's facebook..

  • i would be madif it was like 30 dollars saving, but 7 dollars? a cd is worth more than that...calm down over 7 dollars

  • @xtremedrummer3600 the point hes trying to make isnt over the lousey $7,its the fact that its blatant false advertisement.

  • Comment removed

  • 3:55 

  • Best Buy is whack.. but kind of convenient because that's the only proper electronics store next to my house. Their Rewards system is CRAP. You spend about $2,500 and get the Silver Members Card and you just get $125 in coupons. How about I shop @ Amazon.com and save me $600 anyways because their prices are so damn cheap. Get a better reward system Best Buy and for the love of god, please stop being so uptight with the coupon inclusion list. Exact same thing has happened to me before Chris.

  • Are you in heaven Chris?

  • its 7 bucks omg freak out man

  • lool

    

  • I refuse to buy Computer products at B.B. mainly because I don't want there "Geek Squad" to touch my computer. If I want me computer to work faster or I need to fix my computer I'll do it myself.

  • Forget Best Buy, Go to MicroCenter

  • yes yes the biggest problems with best buy is that it has baaaaad customer service.

  • If i was you i would of taken that back and got it else where. I also would of told them that after i got my money back.

  • Comment removed

  • On NewEgg.com if you go under "Networking" you'll see the sub-topic "Modem" lol. I stopped purchasing from BestBuy A LONG time ago.

  • I got ripped off I got a 360 got a extended warranty. It broke I go back to the best buy, I get told the warranty only covered it for a year even though I payed for 3 year extended warranty .... so Microsoft was nice and gave me a new one,but bestbuy wont give the 130 Dollars I spent on the extended warranty that they denied me to use

  • This is the best internet video I've seen in a long time.
