I ordered this for cheap from newegg but then saw the same copy at Best Buy for like twice the price. Did I just order an upgrade copy or something? Why on earth could that be twice as much from BB, aside from the fact it isn't the "Best buy". Thanks in advance.

Best Buy pays rent on stores in prime locations and they pass the cost to you. New Egg might have a warehouse behind some train yards.

If you aren't sure of the product, call New Egg and ask them.
