So, I think the sonystyle store near me must be ghetto or something, lol.
I called again today to check the price for the 950. I got a very nice man this time, who told me after checking that the price is $279! LOL! I asked him if it wasn't $249, and he checked again and said no, $279. I made sure we were talking about the same item, then I told him that's odd, because the website has it for $249 and I'd heard that other sonystyle store are also selling it for $249, some even with displays advertising that price point.
He was perplexed. He told me that if the website had it for $249, that they'd honour that price, but that it must've just went on sale online today or something (LOL). I didn't have the heart to correct his assumption, so I just left it at that.
I'm really leaning towards just getting it in the physical store Friday, but considering the help I've gotten over the phone, I'm a little nervous!
