I work at Best Buy. My first day, I asked my supervisor (when I accessed what I thought was BestBuy.com from our restricted terminals in-store) why the URL read "kiosk.bestbuy.com" - she said, "Gosh, I don't know. I never noticed that."
Sometimes, the prices are higher; sometimes lower. It's never been explained to me, but I think the axiom "It's much easier to ascribe to evil that which is better explained by ignorance" applies here. C'mon guys, Best Buy was voted one of the top 100 corporate citizens in the U.S.
