staples, best buy, radioshack, etc...they are in a price competition war with each other regarding the advertised prices of identical products. where they try and make up for razor thin margins is with inflated profit margin accessories, scam "setup and install" services, and extended warranties.
 
Well, to be fair, it IS an Ultra setup. Those can't be cheap.

Looks like a dag-blasted scam to me...
-On Norton's web site the listed feature for 360 everywhere security per listed on the add is priced at $39.99
-a screen protector and application = $10-30 / intallation = (?)
-and set up = (?)

So just in products we looking at around $70 not including tax
Where they get you (the nickle and dime scam) is hiden in set up fee which should be free as it is everywhere else, and who knows how much they charge to apply the screen protector.

Wanna hear "ingnorate"?People letting themselves be talked into criminally overpriced Monster cables at best buy.Or how about the BB employee I talked to after the 1st iPad came out(wifi)while waiting a few weeks for the release of my preordered 3g iPad.Swore the 3G 1st gen would have a camera,but"nobody knows about it yet".Then he said he was going to"crack open"his wifi iPad and INSTALL A FREAKING CAMERA."There's a spot for it in there that's just empty."I intended to go back after the 3g models shipped and laugh in his face but never got around to it.

I'm really sorry you have to work there and hope you find honest employment soon.

Oh believe me the stuff I hear is ridicules and I try to be the saving grace lol. And yeah the monster cable issue I agree with but that's a monster issue not a best buy issue we get set pricing from then.
 
I would pay the $99 alone for the "Protective screen protector" ...I have many screen protectors but none have "Protective" ability

The Norton 360 price of $39.99 is one license, yes?

Well, this Staples offer says you get 3 licenses for it, so technically that's a $120 value for Norton alone!

It says you get 3 licenses, and it says you get N360E.
But it doesn't say you get 3 licenses of N360E.

And who needs 3 licenses of N360E anyway? One license lets you install it on up to 5 devices.
