so the other day i was begging my friend that he should get me a discount at frys cuz my compy build is almost done. but then he said he could do something better. he told me that frys does internet price matching. and then he showed me this website.

and so i went into frys today. and picked it up for $230.00!!! ($251.00 with tax) but i thought i would pass this info along to anyone! GO GET ONE!!!

It's up to the Fry's manager's discretion. 

I've heard reports of both very fast price match authorizations and cases where the manager vehemently refused to price match.

It's much easier if there is a close Microcenter in the area, with the processor in stock.

I'll be giving my local Fry's a call after Christmas to see if they will price match. Driving 20 miles sure beats driving 80 miles for a CPU (double that for round trip).
