Both the New York Attorney General and his counterpart in Connecticut are investigating Media Play's tactics regarding their going out of business sale. It's claimed that they've received hundreds of complaints from consumers stating that MP raised their prices before the sale started so that the 20% off was based on the higher price and not their normal selling price. The example they gave was the new "War of the Worlds". Before the sale started it was around $18.00 and now it's selling for about $27 so even with a discount it still costs more than it did before. I don't know about Connecticut, but here in NY that's illegal.
