From the article:
"Nevertheless, the new policy could deliver a new set of challenges, especially if it proves popular with consumers. That's because lower retail prices could eat into Best Buy's margins, forcing the company to cut costs and protect profits"
That was my first question. How are they going to be able to afford price matching with online retailers? We'll know in a few months I suppose.
