BB and FS will match the price, but they don;t give the 10% of the difference because they are the same company. You can argue, but good luck.

Are you sure about that? Does it come with its own wireless received (like for 360 controllers etc.. ?) I'm not doubting you.. just curious if its really the same..

I just PM the mouse that FS sale at 19.99 at BB they gave me 110% so I just pay 15 + taxes. It also depend on which BB you go.

every time a FS/BB thread comes up. Seriously guys, don't believe that crap they feed you. They operate separately so they have to PM. Call their HO and their customer service line, they will tell you that they indeed beat the price of each other.
BTW, the headset will only work on PC but the wireless receiver can double up to let you connect the 360 CONTROLLER to your PC.

these FS/BB inflated retail price scams are too much.
where do they get the amount from?
retail is $69 in US.

Question for those who use these heasets for gaming: Does the game sound come out of the heasets as well or just the voice on the other side?
If it's just voice, wouldn't that block your ability to hear the game sound? And if it is both, you're just getting sound to one ear, so how does playing a game where sound is important (ie COD4) work?
I want to move to a wireless headset but I want to be able to hear everything.

I got one at last Boxing day. It doesn't work at 360, but Its receiver works with the 360's control pad.

i've always got the 10% difference - i've only had them try to pull a "we only match" once. I asked for a manager and got it no problem (in Winnipeg)

I've been getting the 10% and the price match for YEARS.
