In a bid to compete more directly with Apple, Samsung has announced that in the coming months it will open 1,400 Samsung Experience shops within Best Buy stores around the US.

Can you spot anything amiss in today's Best Buy Deal of the Day page? Anything out of the ordinary? Look a little closer. Still don't see it? Here's a better look:

One of Best Buy's daily deals today is $40 off the Hipstreet Equinox 2. Normally retailing for $180, the 10.1-inch Android 4.0 tablet can be yours this very Friday for a mere $140, which is $40 closer to the roughly zero dollars it's worth. Remember, kids: a sale and a deal are two entirely different things.

Best Buy apparently didn't lose enough money matching Walmart's iPhone prices. Now it's running an absurd two day sale on MacBook Airs. You can save $200 off four 2012 models, which is the deepest discount on a new MacBook Air Dealzmodo has ever seen. The promotion is running through tomorrow, so you've got a day to…

Best Buy released a too good to be true coupon earlier today: Spend a $100 and save $50 automatically when you pay with a MasterCard credit card. The fine print had excluded a few products but it was pretty much a free $50 bucks for everything else. So predictably people took advantage of ol' Best Buy and rung up…

Best Buy dropped the price of the 16GB iPhone 5 to $150 last month, and Walmart bested that with a $127 iPhone. Now Best Buy says lost a whole $65,000 on this one product in just one day because it was forced go meet that lower price.

Gift cards—especially in their digital form—are the ultimate, last-minute cop-out gift, and if you're willing to trek out to your nearest Best Buy, they'll reward to effort with a little bit of free iTunes money. All their physical iTunes gift cards are 20 percent off.

One of the big obstacles preventing Microsoft's Surface from being successful has been the fact that it's only available direct from Microsoft. Not any more: by the end of the week, the tablet should be available from Staples and Best Buy.

Most of the time a shipping error is a pain in the ass for you. Maybe you get the wrong thing, maybe you don't get anything. Sometimes though, it can be a huge boon, like when Best Buy accidentally sends you five iPads instead of one and then says "You know what? Keep 'em."
