Except in California and Oregon
About 15 years ago, Microsoft had a promotion where you could get a $300 Best Buy shopping spree if you signed up for 3 years of their dial-up internet. Bad deal, right? Until you read the fine print, which said that if canceled, you would be responsible for paying anyway… except in California and Oregon.
I heard about this one day, went to BB the next, and the day after that they shut down the promotion after mobs of people were descending on Best Buy. Got a crap load of Game Boy games, DVDs, and other stuff.
