It doesnt have to be blue label to be a best buy exclusive. Do you really think it was coincidence that they were the only ones to have it, now they don't and they are popping up everywhere else? I would about bet my left testicle that there is at least one major difference you dont know about, like your display. They did the same thing with the G74SX and everything else was a direct match except the display that BB ordered them with and neglected to list was several hundred cheaper than all the others and they marketed it at the same price as those with the better display. I know, I went through that one and this is when I found out their scam. They later relisted the same product with a BBK number when they got caught. This is nothing new with Best Buy, they have been at it for a very long time. Post up your upc code off the box, out of curiousity I want to see if it matches up to several others that Ive come across that are now selling them. Best Buy will not post the UPC on their website, for the same reasons I've mentioned. only their SKU, which by the way is still there, it just says no longer available.
