Best Buy Charging ‘Halo 3 Tax’

There are few companies I completely dislike, but Best Buy is one of them. They keep giving people reasons to continue hating them, but it doesn’t matter. The suckers are those who don’t know any better. What are they doing now? Charging $3 more per Xbox 360 item, because they can. You can go straight to the Xbox.com website and purchase the same items for less, if you were so inclined. Many people believe this to be due to the fact that Halo 3 is on the way, and people just want to purchase the product and be done with it.

Apparently, Best Buy is cheating money out of its customers. Big surprise there. Seems the electronics retailer is adding a $3 tax to any Xbox-related item due to the massive hype surrounding Halo 3. As you can see above, you can normally bag a 360 headset for $19.99. At Best Buy, it’ll set you back $22.99. Doesn’t make much sense does it?
