Best Buy has decided to come up with a new tax to apply to Xbox 360 owners interested in buying peripherals. They're calling it the Halo 3 tax, and because of the hype behind the game, Best Buy will charge $3 over MSRP for any Xbox-related items. A headset normally cost $19.99 at any store, but as you can see Best Buy is charging $22.99 for the head unit.
I knew that Best Buy was low, but I didn't think they would be this low. Folks, buy your Xbox stuff at Wal-Mart or Target, but don't get hosed by Not So Best Buy!!!
