Samsung P3 at Best Buy?!

[AznSL]

When is the Samsung P3 coming out in Best Buy stores?!!?
Im going crazy because my samsung P2 headphone jack started to get loose which made one side of the headphones not work. That seems to happen a lot to Samsung mp3 players. So I gave my P2 to Best Buy and got store credit instead of a new P2. So I have to get my Samsung p3 from Best Buy. Right now I am using a Frickin Nintendo DSi as a mp3 player, which I have to transfer mp3 songs into aac format. I've been waiting for the Samsung P3 since May when it was supposed to come out!

There are some @ B&H the 8 gig is $128 and the 16gig is still $200 here is the website http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...Go.x=27&Go.y=8 it hasn't come out in stores i think their too scared because of the i-suck saturatd market.

The OP needs to get it from Best Buy, which is unfortunate. Even Dell's selling then for almost nothing.

[blankety blank]

yeah but if he wants the 16 gig hed have to wait be cause Dell said they were out of stock

BestBuy is out of touch. They still want $169 for a 4gb red P2. Don't expect them to carry P3s until they sell off all their P2s, which won't happen unless they want to take a loss.

Man I'm havin it out with Dell right now over their 16GB Black Model. It's been out of stock since early June (at least when I first started paying attention to it). I'm beginning to think I should have just bought from B&H and been done with this a long time ago. My advice...buy online from B&H or warehouse123.com, save some time and frustration.

nah warehouse 123 has the 16 gig for $250 thats more than the price on the samsung website. and the 8 gig for $150 on every website except B&H i got the 8 gig in black thats really the only color they have though, i know theres a white one but well u can figure it out

stupid best buy stopped carrying samsung mp3 players

[Olley]

Stupid BestBuy failed to sell Samsung players because they never trained any employees what was unique about them. Any time I'm in a BestBuy and see clerks offering to help anyone asking for a media player, the customer is taken right to the ipods.

I agree, as all they do is laugh at people when they look at another player. Ridiculing a customer to purchase a higher priced player is also illegal.

At the Best Buy in Albany, NY(a state capital, so a big store), there was a token Fuze, some Zunes, and then just a ton of various iPods. I didn't get the chance to really look around to see what else was there, but in a quick walk-through of the store, that's what was visible.

Going to try that. For fun, I'll say "nevermind, I have a Samsing P3."

By the way, I hate Best Buy. Anytime someone gets me a gift card for there (which is kind of often) I just buy cds.

DUDE! oh man you should have taken it up with samsung instead like i did. I too got my p2 from bestbuy and got the headphone jack problem. sent it back to samsung and after a painful wait of about 3 months (or so..) i got a P3. good luck though with bestbuy. hey they have the sony x1050 maybe you can add to that and try it out. just sayin...

its not so simple, you have to explain to them that the player has the issue and its not your headphones. their reply might depend. in my case and some other ppl on here they told me to send the device so they can fix it. after a couple of weeks they sent me back "my" P2. I've never been so pissed! All they did was put the label from my brand new (2 months) P2 onto another scratched up, cracked and loose P2. I wouldn't have it and so i sent it back.... several weeks later they offered me a P3 (new in the box) which i gladly accepted. they had run out of P2's. i don't know how it would work out now though...

That may depend upon the conditions of the warranty (assuming you have an extended warranty that's valid). In the case that all models of the previous player have been sold out and they're not carrying the newer version of that model they may do one of two things.


A) They could possibly get in touch with Samsung and get small shipments of P3's specifically for the purpose of doing what James had done, that is replacing your P2 for the P3 because it's a similar model. Though that's highly unlikely that BestBuy would be that consumer friendly unless you really get on their case about it.

Or

B) They could possibly give you a store credit for the same value your player was at purchase, or give you the choice of a comparable different model player of similar value as that's what most warranties usually specify if the model your looking for is no longer being carried

Though at Bestbuy I'm not sure how an Ipod would compare to a P2, personally I'd just take the store credit and buy Xbox 360 swag

More than that though, I'm really not a fan of BestBuy's "fix it" warranty. I prefer FutureShop up here in Canada where if it's broken, you bring it in, they give you a new one. No trouble, no hassle. I like that method better, I hate having to send stuff away

I didn't use BestBuy's warranty I used the one-year warranty from samsung. I sent it directly to samsung without consulting BestBuy. But yea, i don't think best buy woulld be nice enough to order it for you. hope im wrong though.
