I don't want to take credit for this, so here's a reference to the slickdeals thread:

It's for a small chain of stores in LA, but you can printout a side of the ad, and try to get a store to pricematch it. Now it is a printout, the side with the drive doesn't say the sale dates or the locations or phone number, so this is a HUGE YMMW. BUT I just got this to work at a Best Buy in Overland Park, KS. Tons of people trying this are getting shot down by managers, but some are getting this deal. My suggestion, do it when the store is super busy. When I got mine, the manager didn't even look at the screen or ask what it was when putting in her userid/password to approve the pricematch.
I hadn't seen any mention of this on [H]ard yet, and it's too damn good of a deal to let slip by. Adding a $100 HD-DVD drive to the 360 Premium I got for $300 at Microcenter ain't too bad....
