    Scan Buy: This is pretty damn cool. Anyone use it yet?

    Download ScanBuy into your cellphone and the next time you?re in an electronics store, use your camera phone to take a photo of a product?s bar code. Scan Buy checks it over the Internet and responds to your phone, letting you know where you can get it cheaper. And if it?s cheaper online, there?s likely to be a link for ordering - one click of the cellphone and the product is on its way to your doorstep.

        Now that sounds bloody awesome - fuck the sales person... this is a great way to use those competition deals against the store and get it 5 or 10% cheaper than that period!

                  Have you tried it outside your house? Like at a store? I haven't tried it or read everything yet. I just learned about it 45 minutes ago.

                  I don't even know if it would work on my phone.

                      That is probably the most difficult part.

                            Perhaps the code was not registered?

                            Not sure how widespread the usage is.

                              Well, then I think my last comment may be pretty relevant. I highly doubt every item you can pick up at 7-11 is in their database.

                              Try with an electronic device. Go price a TV or something.

                                  why not just enter the barcode #'s? Would seem to be easier, and less conspicuous since most stores won't let you take photos in them.

                                        that is pretty neat. Once their database etc gets filled up with more products that can come in really handy.

                                          There's another service that's been doing this for quite some time, you just call them instead of taking the picture. And it works on all phones ;)

                                          edit - now I see you can do more than just call them

                                              Not always enough difference to make it worth the wait. And they have these new things called "sales."

                                              They usually mean the price has been discounted for a short period of time.

                                                    Not bad, it's not a new technology though, my 1-2 years old SE P990I phone can if you take a picture of a business card find all the relevant details and store it under a new contact, pretty sweet feature and it works.
                                                    BAR codes should not be a big problem, majority of products will have their BAR code registered and therefor it will be unique as well since the cost of registering a bar code is a lot lower than to reprint all boxes it is written on if someone else got the same bar code registered

                                                      so from now on people will shop at best buy and future shop because the price guarrentee will mean you will always get the best price.

                                                        That price guarantee is bullshit. I bought a new mouse there, and a week later realized I could get it down the street for $50 less. So I go in with the ad from the competitor and they said they can't match it because the competitor isn't an authorized Logitech dealer. So I go home to find out who is, and guess who the ONLY authorized dealers in Canada are? Future Shop and Best Buy. Fucking scammers.
