G+_Mike Flanagan Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Guess where I'm not getting a Nexus 5. Originally shared by The Verge Google's Nexus 5 is available now for $349. Except at Best Buy, where it's $799.99. http://www.theverge.com/2013/11/2/5058086/best-buy-charging-799-for-nexus-5-off-contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Mike Andrews Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Yeahbut Best Buy includes the Geek Squad setup service and a $149 USB cable. You know. They'll scan it for Windows viruses and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Mike Flanagan Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 Aaron Berlin Other retailers but I think the whole point is they don't want you to buy off contract phones because they get kick backs from the carriers for extending contracts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_R.C. Curtright Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Remember when brick and morter retailers were freaking out that people used smart phones to check online prices of merchandise and get a better deal? Guess they aren't afraid if that anymore.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Dale Dubnyk Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 The funny thing here is, many people don't know you can get it for less than half that price straight from Google. They'll sell these yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
