Ah ha! And now, my Halo 3 copy has just cost me LESS than my french one! ;) (but I'm stretching actually)

What happened is the same day I bought Halo 3 at Futureshop, I also bought an external USB-powered HDD. I've been browsing the net today a little, and notice the very same HDD at a competitor's site for 50$ less!!

Now, Futureshop in all its wisdom, has a 30 days best price guarantee. So what did I do? Of course! I went over, ended up seeing the EXACT SAME JER.... errr CLERK, and told him to honor the price guarantee. This time he couldn't say no! So he refunded me 55$! (the difference + 10% of the difference)

So I decided to see it as my Halo refund, instead of a price return on the HDD  :P

Aren't they supposed to refund the taxes on 55$ as well ?

Yeah he did, but I didn't want to complicate the calculations, and since I don't pay taxes (on work related stuff, self-employed), I almost never mention them  ;D
