True..and even if you go to a Best Buy within 20 miles of a Microcenter store, they might not price match. I contacted two stores very close to a Microcenter, and one (politely) told me they do not price match Microcenter on Apple products, and the other said they would price match and did so graciously.
Of course, a major commendation letter went to Best Buy corporate for the great service at the Best Buy store which price matched.
Since the 999 deal for the MBP at Microcenter is ONLY for store pickup, I doubt any online retailers would price match.
