We talked last week about how Walmart and Best Buy were both on the same page on Black Friday hours; with stores in New Jersey applying to local townships to open on Thursday at midnight.
Now Walmart and Best Buy have something else in common; offering price matching on internet products. In addition to price matching against competitors like amazon.com, Best Buy will also be offering free home delivery on out of stock merchandise this holiday season and same-day, in-store pick-up of products purchased online.
Why is Best Buy doing this?
Best Buy suffers during the holiday season from something known as “Showrooming”. We’ve all done it. Customers come in and check out an item in person to get a feel for it, and then go home and shop online for a better price once they decide that they want it. When customers do this Best Buy becomes a “showroom” for their online-only competitors like amazon.com and buy.com.
Before you start hunting online for bargains there are a few restrictions:

The details of the “major cinematic event” that Best Buy referenced in the announcement of their midnight Black Friday hours were leaked late last night in an interview with Best Buy CEO Brian Dunn posted at TwinCities.com.
Best Buy will show Harry Potter in select parking lots to entertain Black Friday crowds.
Speaking at a Business for Social Responsibility conference, Dunn revealed that select stores will host a viewing of Harry Potter in the parking lot. The comments were not specific about which movie in the series would be shown, though we’re thinking that Deathly Hallows Part 2 is a safe bet given that the DVD’s 11/11 release date would make it a hot item for the holidays. The movie will keep the waiting crowd entertained and should be wrapping up just in time for the doors to open. It marks the first time in memory that a major retailer has hosted an event of this kind to attract Black Friday crowds, and we expect it to tip the scales in Best Buy’s favor when Black Friday shoppers start planning where to begin their shopping day.
We expect more concrete details about Best Buy’s Harry Potter movie event to be announced in the coming days. Since this event is confirmed to be only for select locations, be sure to check with your local store before making your Black Friday movie night plans.
